Hello,
we are in the midst of planning our 6 day trip to Madeira next week - originally we wished to have a multiple day hike and sleep in our tents, but now with all the hiking permits and tent permits restrictions we are thinking of maybe splitting it into maybe 2 shorter hikings, or do the first part with our tents and then book a hostel..
I am mainly looking for any good tips on where to get the trails info (not just official PR trails, all of the paths) to be able to even plan our hikes.. Our first night we thought we could sleep in the Cruzinhas-Calheta campsite, the next one in Estanquinhos , but we're not sure which trails exactly are best to take that include these stopovers. Also after Estanquinhos, where to continue..
In general, any advice would be welcome. We are hikers, but this regime of hiking permits and lack of connectivity between trails, has got us a bit anxious and confused. (Not to mention the weather forecast.)
