We went up from here into misty mountains, with aim of reaching Pico do Areiro, the 3rd highest peak in Madeira. We stopped at the Ribeiro Frio trout farm first, a beautiful looking fish farm set in lovely grounds, and also a place where some of Madeira’s levada walks go from. The trout here get refreshed by the natural levada water. Still, however joyous for them this may be, they still end up on a plate eventually. Nevertheless, it’s a lovely life they enjoy at this trout farm – a much less sterile place than your regular fish farm. The backdrop of the forest and the mountains provide wonderful views, and a lovely cool respite from the heat of the rest of the island. We had a cup of coffee and headed further up to the 1810m Pico do Areiro. The views here are said to be some of the most spectacular in all Madeira, with people describing the experience as “sitting on the wing of an aeroplane above the clouds.” We had a similar feeling – though we were sat on the wing of an aeroplane in the clouds. We couldn’t see a thing, and, shackled by time limits of our private tour, we had to abandon the mountain to make it back to Funchal in time for tea.
Amazing!
