Walking in Madeira
NEW EDITION WALKING IN MADEIRA INFORMATION The volcanic islands of Madeira and Porto Santo bask in sunny solitude in the Atlantic Ocean, far removed from the coasts of Europe and Africa. Long popular for relaxing holidays, today they also attract more adventurous travellers keen to discover a great variety of walks. This guidebook contains a wealth of routes, some as yet little known, stretching from sea level to the highest mountain peaks. The routes explore the awesome cliff coastline, the level ‘levada’ paths and the dense laurisilva ‘cloud forest’ and follow stone-built traverses from peak to peak in the high mountains. The new edition takes account of sweeping changes around the modern Madeira, including the new network of underground road tunnels that offer rapid access to all parts of the island. • A comprehensive introduction to Madeira and Porto Santo • Lavishly illustrated with photographs of every walking route and full-colour mapping • 60 routes, including both old favourites and newly-waymarked walks ✈ AREA MAP Porto Santo Vila Baleira Porto Moniz São Jorge Ponta Delgada Seixal São Vicente Ponta do Pargo Santana Boaventura Fanal Faial Caramujo Bica da Cana Pico do Arco Pico das Torrinhas Pico Ruivo Porto da Cruz Pico do Jorge Pico Grande Pico do ✈ Calheta Boca dos Namorados Machico Santa Cruz Ponta do Sol Ribeira Brava Caniço Cámara de Lobos FUNCHAL THE AUTHOR Paddy Dillon is a prolific walker and guidebook writer, with over 40 books to his name, and contributions to 25 other books.
