Madeira Active Summer picnic/BBQ and Walk
Sunday August 23rd

We will meet at a designated spot on top of Paul de Serra, where will have a short walk along a levada and into a forest where we can use the Public picnic area and BBQ area. Under the shade of the trees we can enjoy eating al fresco, play a few games or just laze around for a while. After lunch, for those who want to walk off their feast, we will take a 30 minute hike up the side of a hill, where on a clear day, from the view point, the peaks of Pico do Arreeiro and Pico Ruivo and the beautiful landscapes of the North Coast can be observed.
This is a free fun day out, bring your own picnic or food if you want to use the BBQ.
To book, email us, using the contact form above.
