In my opinion, the mountain roads were really nice and interesting there. Too bad she hates them, Madeira is one big mountain 😅.
If you are afraid of heights then be prepared for fear 😀. There are a lot of scary parts, even for people who are not afraid of heights so you probably can't enjoy yourself there. This very thin path section was during the first couple of kilometers if I remember correctly. Also, you have to drive a lot of mountain roads to get to the start of the trail.
We’re going back to Funchal this May. Really excited because it’s our first trip away from the U.K. since 2019, Madeira was the last one before Covid.
That's cool! Enjoy some warmth. I'll be doing many more Madeira posts so hopefully, you find some interesting places from here!
Haha love it. A bit of expected fear is harmless but we’ll probably stick to the lower level places or just chill by the pool. We’re going to take the cable car up to Monte again. We’re fine with those and fine with flying. If I’m in something, aircraft, car, cable car etc I’m not scared at all. It’s when I’m standing on a chair or ladder, I get a bit unsteady; as for a mountain - forget it!!
Lol, yeah this trail is not for you then but you can still drive a car up the Pico de Ariero and watch the sunrise above the clouds.
I took the cable car to Monte too. Overpriced ticket but still a cool thing to do.
