Encumeada

I know these all look rather similar but we were agog with the scenery as we were driven back to Funchal. Photographs can't show the sheer majesty of these mountains but I can bore you with videos next time you visit!





Look at the amazing shape of this mountain...
...then look closer and see how terraces have been made high into the mountain with people actually living in practically inaccessible places!
