T
HE VALLEY ROAD LINKING RIBEIRA BRAVA AND SãO VICENTE
via the
Encumeada Pass forms the boundary between the high peaks of central
Madeira and the flat, treeless moorland of the Paúl da Serra plateau to the
west. Scores of ridges and ravines run down the plateau escarpment, like
pleats in a skirt. Those to the north plunge almost sheer to the sea, with
waterfalls that cascade for hundreds of feet. Farming villages cling to the
gentler slopes to the south and west, where new roads are beginning to
open up beautiful parts of the island which few visitors have yet explored.
