Our small group had a very enjoyable walk today and it was so nice to have water crossings for a change. Great views from the top of the ridge.

Re: WALK - MONDAY 12 SEPTEMBER 2022 - RIBBEIRO DAS CANAS

Luckily we chose to sit inside and they let Toby the dog sit under the table.  The heavy rain started just after we sat down.

First walk of the season and the forecasted rain held off.  A very enjoyable walk for 9 walkers and 3 dogs.

Re: WALK - MONDAY 4 JULY 2022 - ILHA DE ROSARIO

It was quite a cool, cloudy day for early July so we decided to do the longer version of the walk up the big hill to enjoy the great views. We also did the extra levada section behind the cafe. The total distance was 9.5kms. The Mira Rio cafe was open today so we enjoyed refreshments after the walk.
