Fanal
Old laurel trees give this upland Laurissilva landscape its distinctive shape. The open forest setting suits a slow walk among trees rather than a single viewpoint visit.
Walk among the individual trees rather than aiming only for a single viewpoint. Their twisted forms and the forest setting make Fanal a different nature stop from the exposed peaks; mist can change the mood, though it can also reduce longer views.
