Es ist eine moderate Wanderung mit einem guten Guide. Wir bekamen einige Erklärungen im Verlauf des Weges. Zum Abschluss der Wanderung zog der Guide das Tempo an, was einem das Gefühl vermittelte, dass die Wanderung abgeschlossen werden sollte. Er hat sich dann aber wieder auf unser Tempo eingelassen, weil es nicht nur um das Wandern sondern auch um das Bestaunen und Fotos machen ging. Für uns war die Tour halt neu, die optischen Eindrücke bewundernswert.Die Pause am Ende im Cafè wurde spontan verlängert,super Abschluss
Randonnée facile qui permet la découverte d'une des principales levadas. Beau point de vue sur les sommets de l'île Site abrité
