This short but demanding route traces one of Madeira's historic 'roads', an old stone trail connecting the coastal settlements of Machico and Caniçal. The trail today is little-used and the former agricultural terraces alongside it have been largely abandoned. Although the path is becoming increasingly popular with international walkers, much of its surface is rough and uneven and may also be overgrown in places. In hot weather, the initial climb from Machico can also prove tiring. For those prepared to put in the effort, the reward is some fantastic coastal vistas and an opportunity to experience at first hand how hardy Madeirans of only a few generations ago must have been!
