Fantastic post! Wait til you come here and walk the levadas with only some guard rails, but several opportunities to plunge several hundred feet into the canyons. 😳

We are coming for Carnival…what possibly could go wrong?

We can recommend some levada walks, and other walks, that are slightly less death-defying.

I’m appreciating the little history lessons and tips for places to go. I’ve got one foot in and the other on the way to PT.

Once again great report Nanc! It’s funny I had learned about this island group months ago, but then at my advanced age, I forgot! Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks for sharing this experience! Was Onix allowed on the ferry to the island?

We did not take Onix and did not see any pets on the boat or island.

I should’ve looked it up before asking you ... turns out no pets allowed to visit the island. Guide dogs only. Thanks 👍

So lovely! Thank you for sharing, Nancy. Would have loved to meet you in person. We live in PDR (the other golf course near Royal Obidos.) Always enjoying your posts.
