A few tasters via my Instagram reels of some of the things I got up to on my December visit to Madeira.
Exploring Binsey in the mist
Walking the PR10 Levada do Furado trail
The Levada do Furado trail (waymarked as PR10) has everything you'd expect from a Madeiran levada walk. Clinging tight to the steep mountainside, it winds through the forest from the trout-farming hamlet of Ribeiro Frio ("cold river") high in the mountains, eastwards to the pretty village of Portela which has a fantastic view of the north-east coast.
