It was quite cold, cloudy, humid, and foggy. When walking on along the levadas in the Laurisilva forests (For those who do not know – levadas are open canals typical for Madeira, developed from the early 16th century, to distribute water from the wet regions on the north of the island to the drier regions on the island) you can often expect such weather conditions.
The walk was very pleasant, it did not rain and it was so beautifully quiet… It is not recommended for tourists to do levada walks during or after rain, when the trail is slippery.
After leaving the Laurisilva forest in the town of Portela and returning to Funchal, it turned out that we found the city exactly as we left it in the morning – the city was sunny and warm and people wore short sleeves.
