Best time to visit...
Madeira is a year round destination. It's always spring time in Madeira. But of course if you visit during summer months (June-August) there are better chances for sunny days and super hot weather. We've decided to visit this beautiful island in October taking the risk to catch more foggy and rainy days.
During our 10 days stay in Madeira we decided to allocate one full day to visit this beautiful place. It is an easy walk if you are reasonably fit, no hiking skills required. Not gonna lie, the hike is sometimes painful.... lots of stairs, ups and downs and if it's a hot day then it's even more "enjoyable".
Time: 9km in total (with return). It will take you around 4h- 5h to do the trail. Took us the entire day only because we stopped so many times along the way for photo sessions.
Facilities: Take plenty of water as there are no facilities along the way. If you start your hike later, near the parking lot is a tourist van selling some refreshments and coffee with toilet available. Also at the end of the trail there's an outdoor restaurant, Casa do Sardinha. For us was like an oasis in the desert. We stopped to buy much needed cold drinks, but they also serve food. They also have toilets (1 euro charge).
Parking: Start point & free parking at Ponta São Lourenço car park . We arrived there early in the morning (around 7 am) and we had the entire parking space available.
