The restaurant had very good food according to my girlfriend; I only had bread, which was okay. We didn't take any photos here. However, the path goes steeply downhill and, of course, just as steeply uphill.

This was a very beautiful hike with a short, steep climb at the end. The levada path was magnificent. The staff at the restaurant at the parking lot were very unfriendly.

A recommended hike in the extreme west of Madeira.

The road winds its way along the mountain in countless curves. Punta do Pargo itself is a small place, but beautifully situated at around 300 m above …
