Madeira...Day 3

Negotiated the buses today and travelled inland to Eira Do Serrado where we followed a trail, descending 1475 feet, to a small village called Curral shown in the picture. This was the easiest part of an old route walked by a woman who used to carry the post balanced in a basket on her head up and down the mountain. I say old, but this practice continued until the 1950's!!
