Ponta de São Lourenço - Caniçal // Madeira Island

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog :-)

Ponta de São Lourenço - Caniçal.jpg

ENG

This time we go to one of the ends of Madeira Island, more precisely Caniçal.
Caniçal is a small fishing village with a rich religious tradition and is one of the oldest on the island of Madeira.
On the third weekend of September, fishermen take part in the so-called Nossa Senhora da Piedade procession at sea. It is during this period that the famous Arraial da Nossa Senhora da Piedade takes place.

Desta vez vamos até uma das pontas da Ilha da Madeira, mais precisamente o Caniçal.
O Caniçal é uma pequena vila de pescadores com uma rica tradição religiosa e é uma das mais antigas da ilha da Madeira.
Ao terceiro fim de semana de setembro, os pescadores fazem no mar a chamada procissão da Nossa Senhora da Piedade. É durante este período que ocorre o famoso Arraial da Nossa Senhora da Piedade.

Traveling to Madeira and not doing one of its trails is the same as saying we went to Rome and didn't see the Pope.
This time, as we were in Caniçal, we opted for the Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço Trail. The trail is about 6 km (round trip), medium difficulty, two and a half hours long and so our girl was able to follow along.
Despite having a winding route, Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço provides a pleasant walking experience due to the good conditions of the route. This peninsula, of volcanic origin and mostly composed of basalt, also has some formations of limestone sediments. Along the route, it is possible to see two islets: Ilhéu do Farol and Ilhéu do Desembarcadouro.

Viajar até à Madeira e não fazer um dos seus trilhos é o mesmo que dizer que fomos a Roma e não vimos o Papa.
Desta feita e como estavamos no Caniçal optamos pelo Trilho da Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço. O trilho tem cerca de 6 km (ida e volta), dificuldade média, duas horas e meia de duração e assim a nossa miúda era capaz de acompanhar.
Apesar de apresentar um percurso sinuoso, a Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço proporciona uma experiência de caminhada agradável devido às boas condições do trajeto. Esta península, de origem vulcânica e maioritariamente composta por basalto, apresenta também algumas formações de sedimentos calcários. Ao longo do percurso, é possível avistar dois ilhéus: o Ilhéu do Farol e o Ilhéu do Desembarcadouro.

After the walk we got in the car and went to the Miradouro da Ponta do Rosto.
The view is stunning, and from here we can see both the south coast and the north coast of the island of Madeira.
The little one here started to complain of tiredness and pain in her feet. Nothing better than putting your feet in salt water to rest them, even better if the water is natural :-) We then stopped at a beach that had no pebbles: Banda D' Além beach.
This beach with yellow sand is one of the few of its kind on Madeira Island and is located in the famous Machico bay, surrounded by a pleasant atmosphere, which makes it one of the favorite destinations at a regional level.

Depois da caminhada pegamos no carro e fomos até ao Miradouro da Ponta do Rosto.
A vista é deslumbrante, e daqui podemos observar tanto a costa sul como a costa norte da ilha da Madeira.
A pequena aqui começou a acusar o cansaço e dor nos pés. Nada melhor que colocar os pezinhos em água com sal para descansar os mesmos , ainda melhor se a água for natural :-) Paramos então numa praia que não tinha pedrinhas: praia da Banda D'Além.
Esta praia com areia amarela é uma das poucas do seu tipo na Ilha da Madeira e está localizada na famosa baía de Machico, rodeada por uma atmosfera agradável, o que a torna um dos destinos preferidos a nível regional.

About 70 meters long, the beach offers facilities such as changing rooms, changing cabins, showers, toilets and parking, in addition to being supervised during the bathing season.
Here we still found one or two brave bathers, but we just got to wet our feet and rest and play in the sand, listen to the waves and catch a bit of sun.
Tomorrow I bring you the final part of our trip.

PT

Com cerca de 70 metros de extensão, a praia oferece instalações como balneários, cabines para troca de roupa, chuveiros, instalações sanitárias e estacionamento, além de ser supervisionada durante a época balnear.
Aqui ainda encontramos um ou dois banhistas corajosos, mas nós foi só mesmo molhar os pés e descansar e brincar na areia, ficar a ouvir as ondas e apanhar um bocadinho de sol.
Amanhã trago cá a parte final da nossa viagem.
