Why Ponta de Sao Lourenco matters
Ponta de Sao Lourenco looks different from the rest of Madeira: no lush forest, just red cliffs, blue sea and a bare ridge. A coastal trail leads out along the peninsula, with views at every bend. Bring water and a hat, as shade is scarce.
Talking points
- Landscape is arid, not green.
- Trail is mostly open.
- Bring water and sun protection.
