Itinerary description

Nice walk along dramatic cliffs on the most eastern point of Madeira. The last climb towards Monte do Forado is quite steep.
Drinks and food at Casa do Sardinha just before the final climb.

    Good walk. Really nice scenery and quite different from a lot of the other hikes on the island. I would suggest arriving around 40 minutes before sunrise and hiking up the first roughly 100m peak on the left just after the start of the marked walk (the peak isn't on the route) for the best views over the islands.
