Resumo da Experiência
A magnificent route, along waterfalls cascading down the coastline, and nature’s curved arm, leaning over the sea with branches.
The hike is supported by a network of lovely water mills that were once the guarantor of flour and sustenance for most of the island. Or even the iconic fountains that provided water to the communities.
In a photographic report or imprinted in the heart, the images traversed here will live on eternally!
