We walked from Mestre to Cabo along the Levada Nova in remote western coast of Madeira. Stunning scenery and a gloriously warm day too. The walk passes a few houses at the start and then make a series of bends into deep ravines, woodland of pine, laurel and eucalyptus trees before reaching some wonderful sea views and two more massive dips into the hills where you look up to the Serra do Paul. The are some small waterfalls too which make for rather pretty viewing.
A very pretty walk with lots of wonderful birds singing; mostly madeiran blackbirds and robins. Lots of wagtails about too and buzzards in the valleys. In the levada edges there were many lizards enjoying the warm sunshine, butterflies and dragonflies too.
Then we went down to the beautiful coast nearby.
