I wonder what Restless Jo will say though as she walked PR1 in the Baixo Guadiana just a day or so before us.

A happy case of ‘orchidelirium’ on our walk to the spring!

An unmissable Spring walk if you enjoy flora as the orchids were stunning. If flora is not your thing then you may still like this walk for its peep into life in the barrocal.

Porto Moniz is in the north west of Madeira, I don't seem to have to hand a photograph of the rock pools for which it is known. However i do have this rather wonderful ocean view ⠀
You can see where Madeira got it name in this shot, it is an island of wood! It is also volcanic, and very green and rugged. ⠀
Most people visit Santana to view the traditional homes constructed with sloping triangular thatched rooftops. I thought though I would stay looking out into the Atlantic - the ocean views are wonderful⠀
Even more popular is Cabo Girão, apparently at the height of the season nearly 2000 people come here a day to look out. ⠀
Another tourist favourite is Cascata dos Anjos - the waterfall cascades over the rockface onto the old E.R.101 regional roadway, and spills into the Atlantic below. ⠀
The cliff-top bluffs reach a height of 392 metres above sea level at Ponta do Pargo, not that we could see much on the day we visited!
