Yup!
We've booked it. 7 days in glorious Madeira, much of the time spent walking the levadas. See attached pics below of the last time we went.
Roll on May 30th!
Madeira is all mountains. Green mountains. They plummet straight into the sea, so for that reason there are no beaches. To get the water into the towns, slots were cut right around the mountains to collect the rainfall and channel it into the towns. They're called levadas. Most are around 400 years old. You can walk the levada along the pathway by the levada, providing you don't mind the sheer drop at one side. You don't get lost, you go miles from civilisation and roads, you always have fresh water to drink from the levada. See the pics, the lady is my Everlovin' missus.
Englishman, getting excited.
