Hiking the Dragon’s Tail: Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço
Nicknamed the “Dragon’s Tail”, the easternmost tip of Madeira is one of the most curious and unique parts of the island.
After hiking the highest peaks of the island, and one of the greenest paths in the middle of laurissilva forest, Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço just seemed to us out of this world. Famous for its rugged coastlines and geological features, this peninsula was bound to impress us right from the start.
The House wrens are back in town
That time of the year has come again, when the migratory birds return to their old nesting grounds. New and old birds come by, and some of them decide to stay longer. We’ve had company this past month, much to our delight, as the little house wrens treated us once again with their playful mood and cheerful songs.
Happy Earth Day!
Wings to the sky, dreams
of a new world emerging.
The time has arrived🌞
