One of our favorite things we've done in Madeira. Not only do you get to do a great short hike but then you get to experience the birds in a way that's just incredible.
The Levada dos Balcões.
This is one of our favorite hikes as it's short and offers an amazing view at the end. The leaves had been falling due to the weather change and it felt like Fall. We first stopped at our favorite place right on the trail for a cup of coffee - Snack Bar Flor da Selva - and to buy one of their small bags of bird seed.
Then it was the views and feeding the birds!!!! This is truly a bucket list thing to do if you're a bird lover. We were able to enjoy several Madeiran Chaffinch endemic to the island, which are a subspecies of the Common Chaffinch.
