A guidebook to 60 day walks on the Portuguese island of Madeira and neighbouring Porto Santo. Covering mountains, coast, laurisilva cloud forest and levadas (irrigation channels), routes range from easy strolls to more strenuous mountain hikes, some calling for a good head for heights.
Walks range from 4 to 27km (2–17 miles) with options to combine routes to create longer days out.
