<b>Churchill e Câmara de Lobos</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A visita de Churchill à Madeira, a convite do Reid's (Palace Hotel), foi uma campanha de 'marketing', porque os ingleses eram os principais clientes do hotel. A iniciativa teve um grande impacto e o hotel, no decurso dos anos 50 e 60, retorna aos tempos áureos, com a presença de muitos famosos </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O Reid's Palace Hotel endereçou o convite no verão de 1949, para assinalar a reabertura após a 2.ª Guerra Mundial, e Winston Churchill chegou à ilha no dia 1 de janeiro de 1950, a bordo do navio "Durban Castle". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dizem os relatos da visita que na viagem até ao hotel terá comentado: "Já fui cumprimentado por muitas pessoas neste mundo por quem fiz alguma coisa, mas nunca, em toda a minha vida, fui tão entusiasticamente recebido por pessoas por quem nunca fiz nada."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Uma vez instalado, permaneceu grande parte da estada no quarto, porque estava mau tempo. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No dia 8 de janeiro de 1950 deslocou-se a Câmara de Lobos, sete quilómetros a oeste do Funchal, num automóvel Rolls Royce da família Leacock. Num recanto, à entrada da vila, montou o cavalete e a tela, sentou-se e pintou a baía e o ilhéu. O fotógrafo Raul Perestrelo imortalizou o momento e, atualmente, o local é designado por Miradouro Winston Churchill. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Deixou a ilha a bordo de um hidroavião da companhia inglesa "Aquila Airways" no dia 12 de janeiro de 1950.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Winston Churchill morreu a 24 de janeiro de 1965, aos 95 anos. Foi primeiro-ministro britânico por duas vezes (1940-1945 e 1951-1955) e entrou para a história como um dos maiores estadistas do século XX. Em 1953, recebeu o Prémio Nobel da Literatura. </div>
<br />
<br />
<b>O Lobo Marinho</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A denominação do concelho de Câmara de Lobos está umbilicalmente ligada à espécie “Lobo Marinho”. Aquando da descoberta da Ilha da Madeira, em 1419, e na sequência do reconhecimento à costa, os marinheiros aportaram a uma baía onde encontraram uma grande colónia destes animais marinhos a que baptizaram de Câmara de Lobos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Este animal, originário do Mar Mediterrâneo, está hoje em vias de extinção, sendo que na Região Autónoma da Madeira está confinado a uma pequena colónia nas ilhas Desertas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A denominação cientifica desta espécie é “monachus monachus”, mas é vulgarmente conhecido por “Lobo Marinho” devido às vocalizações em tom de urro e também por ser um animal carnívoro. A denominação de “Foca Monge”, deve-se às pregas que possui no pescoço, quando está em descanso, que lembra um capucho de monge; e ainda por ser um animal de hábitos solitários. </div>

<b>Churchill and Câmara de Lobos</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Churchill's visit to Madeira at the invitation of Reid's (Palace Hotel) was a marketing campaign because the English were the hotel's main guests. The initiative had a great impact and the hotel, during the 50s and 60s, returned to its golden days, with the presence of many celebrities</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Reid's Palace Hotel addressed the invitation in the summer of 1949 to mark the reopening after World War II, and Winston Churchill arrived on the island on January 1, 1950 aboard the ship "Durban Castle".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The reports of the visit tell us that on the trip to the hotel he commented: "I have been greeted by many people in the world for whom I have done something, but never in my life have I been so enthusiastically received by people for whom I have never done anything. "</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once installed, he stayed in the room for most of his stay, because of some bad weather.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On January 8, 1950 he went to Câmara de Lobos, seven kilometers west of Funchal, in a Rolls Royce car of the Leacock family. In a corner, at the entrance of the village, he mounted the easel and the canvas, sat down and painted the bay and the islet. The photographer Raul Perestrelo immortalized the moment and, currently, the place is designated by the Winston Churchill Viewpoint.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He left the island aboard a seaplane of the English company "Aquila Airways" on January 12, 1950.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Winston Churchill died on January 24, 1965, at age 95. He was British Prime Minister twice (1940-1945 and 1951-1955) and went down in history as one of the greatest statesmen of the twentieth century. In 1953, he received the Nobel Prize for Literature.</div>
<br />
<div>
<b>The Monk Seal</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The denomination of the municipality of Câmara de Lobos is inextricably attached to the species "Lobo Marinho" - the Monk Seal. Upon the discovery of Madeira Island in 1419, and following the reconnaissance of the coast, the sailors landed on a bay where they found a large colony of these marine animals.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This animal, originating in the Mediterranean Sea, is now in extinction, and in Madeira it is confined to a small colony in the Desertas Islands.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The scientific name of this species is "monachus monachus", but it is commonly known as "Lobo Marinho" due to vocalizations in a howling tone and also because it is a carnivorous animal. The name Monk Seal, is due to the folds that it has in the neck, when it is at rest, that resembles a capuchin monk; and also for being an animal of solitary habits.</div>
<br />

Esta cache irá te convidar a conhecer parte da <b>Estrada Regional 101</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Estrada Regional (ER) número 101 (ER101), com 205 km de extensão, merece especial destaque por ser uma obra de engenharia notável, realizada com os meios limitados da época, que só encontra paralelo na extraordinária rede de levadas construída ao longo dos séculos. Foi concluída a 6 de junho de 1958, com a inauguração do túnel Boa Ventura/Arco de São Jorge. Na passagem para o séc. XXI, encontra-se sem circulação rodoviária principal, mas está ainda na lembrança de muitos madeirenses e turistas o percurso vertiginoso da estrada escarpada na rocha da costa norte, desde São Vicente ao Porto Moniz. A sua imagem ficou gravada em muitos postais madeirenses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ao longo dos 3km (ida e volta) irás conhecer os problemas e ao mesmo a beleza desta outrora importante estrada. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Este percurso deverá ser feito com boas condições metereológicas. Evita os dias de chuva e vento.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No início o percurso é acessível, tendo apenas uma área mais sensível após o túnel de acesso à Ribeira Funda<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The Regional Road (ER) number 101 (ER101), with 205 km of extension, deserves special mention because it is a remarkable engineering work carried out with the limited means of the time, that only finds parallel in the extraordinary network of "levadas" constructed along the centuries. It was completed on June 6, 1958, with the inauguration of the Boa Ventura / Arco de São Jorge tunnel. In the early XXI century, it longer has main road traffic, but it is still in the memory of many Madeirans and tourists the dizzying route of the steep road on the rock of the north coast, from São Vicente to Porto Moniz. Its image was engraved on many Madeiran postcards.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">

<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Along the 3km (round trip) you will discover the problems and at the same time the beauty of this once important road.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This course should be done with good weather conditions. Avoid the rainy and windy days.</div>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 20px;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the beginning the route is accessible, having only a more sensitive area after the access tunnel to Ribeira Funda.</div>

Curiosamente já alguns turistas fizeram referência a estes artigos nos seus logs:</div>

Ao chegar à madre da Levada Nova de Santa Cruz atravesse o curso de àgua e siga em frente de pedra em pedra. Poucos metros depois irá ver na Ribeira de Santa Cruz a sua cascata de dois ressaltos, ladeada de colunas prismáticas. Linda e única.<br />
Ali mesmo ao lado a Ribeira Primeira une-se à Ribeira de Santa Cruz e podemos ver também outra cascata. Subindo um pouco até a base dessa cascata podemos ver um afluente com outa cascata.<br />

When reaching the source of the levada, improvise, cross the water course and go ahead from stone to stone. A few meters later you will see Ribeira de Santa Cruz and its waterfall with two junps flanked with prismatic columns. Beautiful and unique.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Right beside the aforementioned waterfall, Ribeira Primeira joins with Ribeira de Santa Cruz and we can see another waterfall. Climbing a little to the base of this waterfall we can see a tributary with a smaller waterfall.</div>

Aguage provirá do vocábulo aguagem: corrente impetuosa de água.<br />
Naturalmente que a sua impetuosidade irá variar de acordo com as estações do ano.<br />
O acesso a esta cascata faz-se por uma pequena estrada de gravilha/cimento.<br />

This cache will lead you to a waterfall located between sites of Lamaceiros and Feiteira do Nuno in Santana, locally designated by Aguage, Águaje or Agua D'Alto.<br />
Aguage probably owes its origin the portuguese word aguagem: impetuous current of water.<br />
Naturally its impetuosity will vary according to the seasons.<br />
The access to this waterfall is via a small gravel/cement road.<br />
Near the waterfall there is a space to turn the car and park.<br />

A Missa do Parto dos Arredados é já uma tradição anual na Freguesia De Ponta Delgada, realizando-se habitualmente no último domingo antes do Natal.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
É uma missa que reúne sempre muitas pessoas de várias zonas da Madeira, sendo por intenção das pessoas que raramente participam nas cerimónias religiosas e como tal estão arredadas da liturgia.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
Tal como os arredados estão afastados das liturgias também algumas pessoas estão arredadas da Natureza. Esta cache é um convite para um regresso à Natureza, uma purificação e quem sabe com um lavar dos pés incluído.</div>

The Arredados Mass in honour of the birth of Jesus is already an annual tradition in the Parish of Ponta Delgada, usually taking place on the last Sunday before Christmas.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
It is a mass that always gathers many people from various parts of Madeira and is intended to the Arredados (people who rarely participate in religious ceremonies and as such are distant from the liturgy).</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
As the Arredados are distant from the liturgies also some people are cut off from Nature.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial;">
This cache is an invitation for a return to nature, a purification and who knows with a Washing of the Feet included.</div>

<b> ATTENTION:</b><br />
- The difficulty of this cache depends on the flow of the stream. Analyze the conditions and don't take risks.<br />
- There is a trail on the west bank (see spoiler). If you use the trail you will avoid walking inside the river bed most of the way.<br />
- The course must be done only with good weather conditions.<br />
- You should bring water and food, clothing and appropriate footwear (extra clothing in case you get too wet).<br />
- The use of walking poles is recommended.<br />

<div style="color: #4a4a4a; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
Off the southwest coast of Portugal and northwest coast of Africa lies the beautiful archipelago of <a href="https://www.visitportugal.com/en/destinos/madeira" style="background-color: transparent; color: #2b7277; text-decoration: none; transition: background-color 0.15s ease-in-out, border-color 0.15s ease-in-out, color 0.15s ease-in-out, opacity 0.15s ease-in-out;">Madeira</a>. It is the outermost region of the European Union and an autonomous region of Portugal. Known for its idyllic climate, flowing wine, romantic beaches, and sheer cliffs, Madeira is also home to close to <a href="https://www.geocaching.com/play/search?ot=4&r=113&e=1" style="background-color: transparent; color: #2b7277; text-decoration: none; transition: background-color 0.15s ease-in-out, border-color 0.15s ease-in-out, color 0.15s ease-in-out, opacity 0.15s ease-in-out;">1,200 active geocaches</a>.</div>
<div style="color: #4a4a4a; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
You must be thinking, “Geocaching in gloriously warm climate with stunning landscapes and flowing wine—where’s the grit and the character-building adventure of <i>that</i>?!” Luckily, this traditional cache provides a mildly challenging hike with a big pay off in a phenomenal location. Perfect!</div>
<div style="color: #4a4a4a; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
You’ll start your journey at the <a href="http://www.madeiraislandsguide.com/place/sao-jorge-lighthouse/" style="background-color: transparent; color: #2b7277; text-decoration: none; transition: background-color 0.15s ease-in-out, border-color 0.15s ease-in-out, color 0.15s ease-in-out, opacity 0.15s ease-in-out;">São Jorge (St. George) lighthouse</a>, a sweet little spot to prepare for your trek and take in the ocean views. The lighthouse was, “…designed in 1948 and started to function in 1959. Its structure is a cylindrical tower 14-meters high, and the focus is at an altitude of 271 meters. Its light has a range of 16 miles, and its operation is automated in 1986 after being electrified in 1962.”</div>

The next step is to find the path to the geocache. Once you are on the path, you will see why this geocache earned its 3.5 terrain rating. There are many paths—will you take the correct one? Will your path be full of mud with no alternate route? Will you slip and fall in the mud? Will this actually be worth it? Stay strong, intrepid geocachers, because yes, the payoff will be worth it.</div>

<div style="color: #4a4a4a; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">
At the end of the path on the very edge of a cliff, you will find a very large rock. Many years ago it broke free from the hills above, rolled down the rugged terrain, then suddenly stopped right on this precipice. This was so amazing and odd that the locals built a small shrine in honor of the “Lady of the Stone” and placed it underneath the boulder. This “monument’ is full of religious statues, candles, flowers, stones, and other knickknacks. It is also a wonderful place for quiet reflection and to sign a logbook.</div>

If this amazing rock and little shrine weren’t enough, check out that view! On the left you can see Porto Moniz very far away, while on the right you can look down and see the old pier of São Jorge. Can it get any better than this?</div>

Its D/T ratio is the only one missing in on matrix. We first discovered the lighthouse, then went down to GZ. 148 steps later, we were at the right place. A special place, as many ones that we can discover since we are practising geocaching. We found the box with the help of the spoiler. While we were signing the logbook, a rainbow appeared above the Ocean. To celebrate our fully filled matrix? Thank you for this great cache!</div>

Fortunately we found the right way otherwise we have missed a great adventure and a total crazy place! The path down was a real adventure but at the end worth every step How curious to place a shrine under this huge stone! We enjoyed the mystic and peaceful place, stayed some time staring at the sea This place is worth a favorite point</div>

<ul>
<li>O <b>Patagarro</b> é uma das 8 espécies de aves marinhas que nidifica no arquipélago da Madeira.<br />Conhece mais pesquisando o <b>Projecto Puffinus</b>.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">A cache está situada na <b>Ribeira de Santa Luzia</b>. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Não existe trilho. Deverás improvisar, tendo de atravessar várias vezes a ribeira.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Para lá chegar existem outras alternativas mas esta será a mais simples </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Há a possibilidade de conjugar com outras caches da área: GC4FVVW, GC17K6C, GC17K5H e GC3T7QN. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">O local possui fraco sinal GPS pelo que deverão utilizar os spoilers e dicas fornecidas. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: start;">
A dificuldade desta cache depende do caudal da ribeira. Durante os meses de verão o acesso poderá ser mais simples mas a cascata poderá estar seca. Analisa as condições e não arrisques.</div>
</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">O percurso deverá ser feito apenas com boas condições climatéricas.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Deverás levar água e comida, roupa e calçado apropriados (roupa e calçado extra para o caso de te molhares).</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">A utilização de um bordão é recomendada.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Parking - Cache - Parking: 9 km, 4h</li>

<b style="text-align: justify;">CACHE: </b><br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The <b>Patagarro</b> is one of the 8 species of seabird that nests in the Madeira archipelago. Know more by searching for the <b>Project Puffinus</b>.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The cache is located in <b>Ribeira de Santa Luzia</b>.</li>
<li>There is no trail. You have to improvise, having to cross the river several times.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">To get there, there are other alternatives but this is probably the easiest. </li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">It is possible to combine with other caches in the area: <span style="text-align: left;">GC4FVVW, GC17K6C, GC17K5H and GC3T7QN.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">The location has weak GPS signal and you should therefore use the spoilers and hints provided.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">The difficulty of this cache depends on the flow of the stream. During the summer months access may be simpler but the waterfall may be dry. Analyze the conditions and don't take risks.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">The course must be done only with good weather conditions.</span></li>
<li>You should bring water, food, clothing and appropriate footwear (extra clothing in case you get wet). </li>
<li>The use of walking poles is recommended.</li>
<li>Parking - Cache - Parking: 9 km, 4h</li>

<span style="color: #58595b; font-size: 6pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A ilha do Porto Santo tem 42,48 km² de área e 5.483 habitantes (censos 2011). Situando-se a apenas 40 quilómetros da ilha da Madeira.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apesar de se localizar muito perto não podia diferir mais da ilha vizinha...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Madeira destaca-se pela floresta Laurissilva e pelo verde das suas abruptas montanhas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O Porto Santo é geologicamente muito mais velho que a Madeira e apresenta uma estrutura complexa e fortemente erodida. O seu solo é arenoso, a pluviosidade é baixíssima (comparada com a da Madeira) e é extremamente plano.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O Porto Santo é muitas vezes apresentado como uma extensa praia de 9km com um pouco de ilha a</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
acompanhar, sendo o destino de praia de muitos madeirenses que, principalmente no mês de Agosto,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
afluem em massa até a ilha vizinha. A ilha é marcada por uma forte sazonalidade e isso é notório tanto nos preços praticados como nos serviços disponíveis.</div>
Será então o Porto Santo aquele destino para apenas uma escapadinha de fim de semana? <br />
Julgo que não. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A praia mantém os seus 9km de areia mas a ilha cresceu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cresceu em atividades e no número de locais para visitar, sítios que até então eram do conhecimento de poucas pessoas. O geocaching foi uma das atividades que cresceu e ajudou a mostrar um novo Porto Santo. A ilha já não se limita à rotina diária de vila-praia, praia-vila com uma lambeca pelo meio. Agora há muito mais para ver e para fazer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Apesar da ilha ser no geral plana, apresenta de 9 picos e como é de esperar, todos eles com uma ou mais geocaches. O Pico do Facho [GC3R57F] é o mais alto, com apenas 516 metros de altitude, e tem ali mesmo ao lado o Pico Juliana [GC3R5BA]. Segundo a história, quando eram avistados piratas acendiam-se fogueiras para avisar a população e se a visibilidade permitisse, eram visíveis na ilha da Madeira, que recebia a informação com algumas horas de antecedência para se preparar. O Pico Castelo (Percurso Recomendado 2) é o que mais se destaca na paisagem pela sua forma em cone. Na sua base, um muito visita do miradouro [GC4NFHP] mesmo no fim da estrada. No topo e</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
após vários degraus encontramos não só uma cache [GC374XD] como um jardim, uma panorâmica para grande parte da ilha e uma fortaleza do século XVI, símbolo da defesa das populações dos continuados ataques piratas à Ilha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O Pico Branco (Percurso Recomendado 1) tem para oferecer 3 caches, interessantes fenómenos geológicos e uma paisagem bonita, com as mais altas montanhas da ilha à sua frente e atrás uma costa recortada e moldada pelo Oceano Atlântico.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O Pico da Ana Ferreira sempre foi um dos pontos mais visitados da ilha. Uma estrada de terra conduz os visitantes até à zona da pedreira [GC1YZN6] onde podemos contemplar um leque de disjunções prismáticas. No entanto, convidamos-te a ir mais longe e a explorar as duas geocaches situados no topo do pico [GC3R58M] e [GC3W0KE]. Para além da excelente panorâmica para a ilha, caminhar</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
neste pico dá-nos a estranha sensação de andarmos em cima de teclas de um piano. Ali mesmo ao lado o Pico Espigão [GC3VT3N] e a sua crista descansam sobre o sítio dos Morenos [GC4HJ5Y],</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
local ideal para uma merenda e para uma visita ao miradouro da Ponta da Canavieira [GC3TKR1].</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Para além dos picos poderás explorar outras zonas balneares.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O areal de 9km a sul não é o único lugar onde poderás fazer praia. O Porto Santo também tem outra</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
praia paradisíaca de cor turquesa, curiosamente uma praia de calhau, desconhecida da maioria dos seus visitantes: a Praia do Zimbralinho [GC3WA77], uma pequena baía situada a sudoeste da ilha entre o Pico das Flores e os Morenos. Esta pequena praia de calhau rodeada por falésias banhadas de águas cristalinas, é digna de uma visita, sendo o seu acesso por percurso pedestre.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Na zona da Serra de Fora poderás mergulhar na praia do Porto dos Frades [GC3TKJH].</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Este local é também ponto de partida para um percurso junto à costa até a Ponta da Galé [GC3VZ97] (com a possibilidade de se continuar até ao porto) onde encontrarás algumas zonas para mergulhar. É também no Porto dos Frades que poderás visitar a Praia do Gastão [GC3VZ7C], uma praia recatada com um percurso interessante que é especialmente recomendada durante a maré baixa. Para finalizar, que tal umas piscinas naturais com água cristalina e fundo de areia? Poderás optar pelo Porto das</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eiras [GC3NHBW], selvagem e de difícil acesso ou pelo Porto das Salemas [GC374YK] com acesso simples a veículos TT ou à distância de alguns metros para os que optarem por descer a pé. Para usufruir destes locais é obrigatório ir com a maré baixa pois só assim poderão tirar proveito das piscinas. Em ambos os locais um olhar desatento poderá levar a que não se encontrem as melhores</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
piscinas. Explora os cantos do lado direito e serás surpreendido.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Para além dos picos e de zonas balneares mais remotas, existem também alguns locais mais distantes das estradas e da civilização. Logo após a Fonte da Areia [GC4TZA69], miradouro que é um bom ponto de observação de fenómenos geológicos e da costa norte, encontrarás uma área com dunas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Neste local encontrarás a cache Tesouro de Areia [GC4DWR0] e terás a sensação de estar num micro deserto. Depois, entre o Aeroporto e o Campo de Golf, encontram-se uma série de trilhos em terra que fazem as maravilhas dos amantes do Todo o Terreno. As moto4 são um meio de deslocação muito popular e útil nesta área. Por cá encontrarás mais algumas caches, algumas bastante acessíveis e outras mais junto à costa que requerem mais cuidados.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As recentes caches, A vigia [GC5TRKZ] e Northern Coast [GC5TRK5], sugerem uma visita a outra área remota da ilha.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
E já que falamos em remoto. Que tal uma visita a um dos 6 ilhéus do Porto Santo, o Ilhéu de Cima [GC58MP8]?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Com a devida antecedência poderão contactar o Parque Natural da Madeira e agendar uma visita a este ilhéu. Terão a oportunidade de efetuar uma visita guiada por um vigilante que vos dará informações relevantes sobre o local.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Para aqueles dias de maior preguiça, há vários pontos acessíveis na ilha que merecem uma visita. Para além dos miradouros anteriormente mencionados, também poderão visitar os miradouros da Ponta da Calheta [GC3V5AN], das Flores [GC16F1H] e os miradouros da Portela [GC2DJE5] e das Lombas [GC3T4HX] ambos com os tradicionais moinhos de vento.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O Porto Santo conta também com alguns espaços verdes. Destacamos pelo seu tamanho (5mil m2), por possuir um mini zoo e por o seu verde contrastar com o terreno árido em toda a</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
sua volta, a Quinta das Palmeiras.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Um autêntico Oásis no centro da ilha.</div>

Já descobriram as mais de 80 caches de diferentes tipos e níveis na ilha?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ainda há mais.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Poderão efetuar várias atividades ligadas ao mar (mergulho, windsurf, SUP, kitesurf e passeios de barco), hipismo, safaris de Jeep, passeios de bicicleta, utilizar os courts de ténis e de paddle ou quem sabe uma experiência de golf [GC3YZWW].</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O Porto Santo organiza vários eventos durante todo o ano relacionados com as mais diversas temáticas como concentração de motards, caça, rali, carnaval, festivais gastronómicos, competições de trail, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
De entre todos estes destaco as festas de São João em junho e o Festival Colombo em</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
setembro, que recria a chegada de Colombo à ilha. Assim como cortejos, feiras e mercados ao ar livre e ainda uma série de eventos à noite.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
É muito fácil de chegar à ilha, com o ferry, a partir da Madeira (2h30m), ou de avião</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
até ao seu aeroporto internacional.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A ilha dourada espera por ti!</div>

<br />
Em pouco mais de 600m passamos do alcatrão da Via Expresso para uma área onde a Natureza está intocada. Pelo meio e para que a transição seja suave, iremos caminhar por entre pequenos palheiros e terrenos cultivados onde a vinha é dominante.<br />
Todo o percurso até a ribeira é feito numa vereda em boas condições e sem qualquer perigo.<br />
O nível 4 é apenas justificado pelos últimos metros que serão percorridos dentro da ribeira.<br />
O sinal GPS será bastante fraco nesta área. Sobe um pouco e procura pelo spoiler.<br />
Os mais audazes poderão subir um pouco mais mas não é recomendável.<br />
Evita fazer esta cache à noite, quando as condições climatéricas não são as melhores e quando o caudal da ribeira for demasiado elevado.<br />
Procura sempre respeitar os agricultores, as vinhas e o ambiente.<br />

A <b>Levada do Norte</b> é uma das mais emblemáticas da Ilha da Madeira. A <b>Levada do Norte</b> é uma levada de significativas dimensões e caudal, construída com o objectivo de transportar água para rega, desde o Seixal e São Vicente no norte, até ao sul, nomeadamente até aos concelhos da Ribeira Brava e de Câmara de Lobos. Com uma extensão de cerca de 60 km, dividida em três troços, a importância da<b> Levada do Norte</b> foi, logo aquando da sua inauguração, reconhecida como obra estruturante para o desenvolvimento da Madeira. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A<b> Levada do Norte</b> começou a ser construída em 1947. Contudo, foi apenas 5 anos depois, em 1 de junho de 1952, que a água correu pela primeira vez, transportando para o sul as águas captadas nas Fontes da Hortelã (Seixal) e São Vicente, no norte. Os mais altos dignitários do Estado Português deslocaram-se à Madeira para consagrar a abertura da Levada. Centenas de cidadãos apadrinharam os primeiros passos da água na <b>Levada do Norte</b>, percorrendo-a desde a Ribeira Brava até Câmara de Lobos, onde decorreu uma missa campal. Até então, e como comprovam relatos arrebatados da época, a <b>Levada do Norte</b> corporizava a mais complexa e morosa obra humana alguma vez realizada na Madeira.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A <b>Levada do Norte</b> também é muito importante, não só como recurso hídrico mas também para a produção de energia alimentando as centrais hidroeléctricas da Serra d'Água e dos Socorridos.</div>

<b><i>Levada do Norte</i></b> (<i>Levada</i> from the north) is one of the most emblematic of the island of <i>Madeira</i>. <i><b>Levada do Norte</b></i> is a levada with significant dimensions and flow, built in order to transport water for irrigation from <i>Seixal </i>and <i>São Vicente</i> in the north to the south, particularly to the municipalities of <i>Ribeira Brava</i> and <i>Câmara de Lobos</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a length of about 60 km, divided into three sections, the importance of <i><b>Levada do Norte</b></i> was, shortly upon its opening, known as a structuring project for the development of Madeira.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Levada do Norte</b></i> started being built in 1947. However, it was only five years later, on June 1, 1952, that the water flowed first, carrying the waters to the south captured in <i>Fontes da Hortelã </i>(<i>Seixal</i>) and <i>São Vicente</i> in the north. The highest dignitaries of the Portuguese State traveled to <i>Madeira</i> to consecrate the opening of the l. Hundreds of citizens patronized the first steps of the water in <i><b>Levada do Norte</b></i>, covering it from <i>Ribeira Brava</i> to <i>Câmara de Lobos</i>, where an outdoor mass was held. Until then, and as evidenced by reports at the time, <i><b>Levada do Norte</b></i> embodied the most complex and time-consuming human work ever held in <i>Madeira</i>.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>Levada do Norte</b></i> is also very important, not only as a water resource but also for the production of energy feeding the hydroelectric plants of <i>Serra d'Água</i> and <i>Socorridos</i>.</div>

A pré-existência de bananais em plena produção e de um extenso muro de pedra seca para abrigo dos ventos, bem como a disponibilidade de água da Levada dos Piornais, constituíram um desafio e foram determinantes no desenho do Jardim, na medida em que se pretendeu assegurar um registo funcional da memória do lugar. Nesse contexto, propôs-se a delimitação de um conjunto de hortas municipais, cuja concretização em plena área urbana é uma inovação no concelho do Funchal. Uma das zonas mais emblemáticas do jardim é a Praça dos Dragoeiros, pontuada por um conjunto de 6 exemplares desta espécie da flora indígena da Madeira. A praça é atravessada por um canal de água adoçado a uma fonte-dragão.<br />
<img src="http://www1.cm-funchal.pt/ambiente/images/stories/espaco_verdes/jardins/JardimPublicoAjuda/JardimPublicoAjuda_16.jpg" style="float: right; padding-left: 10px;" width="300" /> Noutro ponto do jardim, uma estreita levada, com origem simbólica num til, executa um percurso sinuoso indo desembocar num pequeno lago, a partir do qual a água é novamente reciclada. A nível de equipamento destaca-se uma zona específica para crianças, um parque infantil, como também um parque geriátrico, dois campos para a prática da Petanca, um campo com tabela de basquetebol, duas mesas de ping-pong, três mesas para jogos, dois fontanários recuperados e algumas peças de arte urbana foram também incluídos neste espaço verde e 6 hortas municipais. Em termos de estrutura verde, o jardim dispõe de amplas clareiras relvadas, aptas a receber as mais diversas iniciativas, enquadradas por maciços arbóreo-arbustivos. Entre as espécies escolhidas a nota dominante vai para a flora tropical, podendo identificar-se 16 espécies distintas de palmeiras, no sentido lato. Nos estratos inferiores, a alternância de períodos de floração e a harmonia versus contraste entre cores, texturas e formas do material vegetal são as características mais visíveis.<br />

<b>
Programa das Hortas Urbanas Municipais</b><br />
Objectivos do projecto:<br />
<br />
• Promover a agricultura urbana e contribuir para a segurança alimentar e a melhoria e diversificação das dietas;<br />
• Demonstrar que os espaços verdes também podem ter uma função de produção, para além da protecção e do recreio;<br />
•Servir de modelo para a ocupação espontânea de terrenos abandonados ou sem uso definido, responsabilizando os munícipes pela gestão activa dos espaços públicos;<br />
• Recriar a ligação entre o campo e a cidade e incentivar o contacto com a Natureza;<br />
• Melhorar a circulação da água e harmonizar a paisagem e o ambiente urbano em geral, favorecendo o conforto das populações e a biodiversidade potencial do meio.<br />

<br />
A<span style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Quinta Vigia</b>, localizada na cidade do Funchal, é a residência oficial do Presidente do Governo da Região Autónoma da Madeira. O nome original desta quinta era Quinta das Angústias, em virtude de possuir uma capela datada do século XVII que invocava Nossa Senhora das Angústias. A quinta foi renomeada "Quinta Vigia" em 1982, depois de já ter desaparecido a Quinta Vigia original, situada nas proximidades e em cujo terreno se construiu o actual Hotel Pestana Casino Park.</span><br />
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Por esta quinta passaram várias personalidades ilustres, entre as quais se encontram Maximiliano, duque de Leuchtenberg (genro do czar Nicolau I), que ali se instalou em 1849 numa tentativa de tratar a sua doença. A 28 de Agosto de 1852 a imperatriz Amélia, viúva de Pedro IV, tomou residência na quinta procurando a cura da tuberculose da sua filha, a princesa Maria Amélia (na época era atribuídas propriedades curativas aos ares da Madeira). O esforço de D. Amélia revelou-se em vão, pois a jovem princesa viria a falecer em Fevereiro de 1853.<br />
<div>
Pouco tempo depois o Conde Alexandre Carlos Lambert, antigo ajudante de campo da imperatriz da Rússia, adquiriu a quinta, tendo alterado o nome desta para Quinta Lambert. A quinta regressou ao seu antigo nome de Quinta das Angústias quando foi adquirida pelo madeirense João Paulo de Freitas em 1903.</div>
<div>
Em 1979, quando o regime autonómico já tinha sido implantado na Madeira, a quinta foi comprada pelo Governo Regional. Durante algum tempo as suas instalações foram usadas para abrigar o Conservatório de Música da Madeira, até que este foi transferido para o antigo Hotel Nova Avenida em 1981. Depois de obras nos seus jardins, na capela e no palácio, a quinta foi inaugurada como residência oficial do Presidente do Governo a 2 de Maio de 1984. Os jardins da quinta encontram-se abertos ao público, sendo principalmente visitados por turistas. A quinta proporciona igualmente uma bela perspectiva sobre a baía do Funchal.</div>

<i>Quinta Vigia, located in Funchal, is the official residence of the President of the Autonomous Region of Madeira. The original name of this estate was Quinta das Angústias, by virtue of having a chapel dating from the seventeenth century which invoked Our Lady of Anguish. The estate was renamed "Quinta Vigia" in 1982, already after the disappearance of the original building, located in the vicinity and in whose land they built the current Pestana Casino Park.</i><br />
<i>Several distinguished personalities spent some time in this estate, among which are Maximilian, Duke of Leuchtenberg (Tsar Nicholas I's son in law), which were installed in 1849 in an attempt to treat their disease. In August 28, 1852 Empress Amelia, Pedro IV's widow, took up residence on the estate looking for the cure of tuberculosis of his daughter, Princess Maria Amelia (at the time healing properties were attributed to the air in Madeira). The effort of Amelia proved to be in vain, for the young princess would die in February 1853.</i><br />
<i>Shortly after the Count Alexandre Charles Lambert, a former aide of the empress of Russia, acquired the farm, and changed the name to Quinta Lambert. The estate returned to its former name, Quinta das Angústias, when it was acquired by the madeiran João Paulo de Freitas in 1903.</i><br />
<i>In 1979, when the autonomic regime had already been introduced in Madeira, the estate was bought by the Regional Government. For a while its facilities were used to house the Music Conservatory of Madeira, until it was moved to the former New Avenue Hotel in 1981. After works in their gardens, in the chapel and in the palace, the estate was opened as an official residence of the President of the Government on 2 May 1984. The estate's gardens are open to the public and are mainly visited by tourists. The estate also offers a beautiful view over the bay of Funchal.</i></div>

O vale da Ribeira da Janela é rico em beleza e em pequeno cursos de água que alimentam a sua ribeira. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Como habitual muita dessa água é canalizada para levadas que fazem as delícias de quem nos visita. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A <b>Levada da Ribeira da Janela</b> é das mais conhecidas da área e é frequentemente visitada mas a uma altitude superior e com uma extensão inferior podemos encontrar uma levada interessante que é do conhecimento de poucos - A <b>Levada do Brasileiro</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A <b>Levada do Brasileiro</b> têm o seu início num túnel de captação cuja entrada está fechada. A levada tem a particularidade de conduzir a água através de diferentes níveis, deixando a água correr livremente do nível superior até que volta a ser captada pelo nível inferior como se de uma escada se tratasse. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
O<b> Tunel do Estrebarias/Furado Velho</b> e a <b>Levada do Furado Velho</b> eram em tempos regularmente utilizados pelos turistas para chegar à pitoresca área do Rabaçal. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alguns pernoitavam nas casas de Rabaçal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Devemos fixar aqui uma data memorável na história das obras do Rabaçal — a de 16 de Setembro de 1855 — em que as águas atravessando pela primeira vez o túnel das Estrebarias, passaram do norte para o sul da ilha para fertilizar vastos terrenos que se encontravam incultos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No decurso das obras, cuja realização levou mais de meio século, houveram várias modificações. Para conduzi-las ao seu termo final, despendeu-se a avultada soma de quase 186 contos de réis, mas o grandioso empreendimento aí está a testar eloquentemente o que valem o zelo, a dedicação e o amor de alguns homens pelas prosperidades e bem estar da nossa terra.</div>

O pitoresco lugar do Rabaçal fica situado no interior da ilha, numa altitude de mil metros acima do nível do mar. As águas aproveitadas no Rabaçal para a alimentação das levadas, são constituídas pelas fontes originárias da Ribeira da Janela. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Certamente que desde os tempos primitivos da colonização devia aquela região ter atraído as atenções dos primeiros povoadores, não só do ponto de vista das belezas naturais, mas ainda e principalmente, da riqueza daqueles ubérrimos caudais, que corriam inutilmente para o oceano. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tem-se por vezes afirmado que datam do domínio filipino as primeiras tentativas feitas para o aproveitamento das águas do Rabaçal para irrigação, mas não existe qualquer documento ou informação de origem segura que inteiramente o confirme. Quando no ano de 1835, se iniciaram os trabalhos de construção, encontraram-se videntes vestígios de antigas explorações que, segundo as mais acertadas probabilidades, devem remontar-se ao terceiro quartel do século XVIII. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Devemos fixar aqui uma data memorável na história das obras do Rabaçal — a de 16 de Setembro de 1855 — em que as águas atravessando pela primeira vez o túnel das Estrebarias, passaram do norte para o sul da ilha a fertilizar vastos terrenos que se achavam incultos. </div>

No decurso das obras, cuja realização levou mais de meio século, sofreram elas várias modificações. Para conduzi-las ao seu termo final, despendeu-se a avultada soma de quase 186 contos de réis, mas o grandioso empreendimento aí está a testar eloquentemente o que valem o zelo, a dedicação e o amor de alguns homens pelas prosperidades e bem estar da nossa terra. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
São duas as levadas do Rabaçal - a levada velha e a levada nova. As obras da levada velha só acabaram em 1860 e as da levada nova só ficaram definitivamente concluídas em 1890. Esta última levada é alimentada pelas águas das 25 Fontes e Fonte do Cedro (Ribeira dos Cedros).</div>

<i><i>This scenic location named Rabaçal is located inside the island, at an altitude of a thousand meters above sea level. The water used in Rabaçal for feeding the levadas, is taken from the sources that form Ribeira da Janela.</i></i></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Since the earliest days of colonization the region probably attracted the attentions of the first settlers, not only from the point of view of its natural beauty, but also and mainly due to the fertile streams that ran uselessly to the ocean.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Some state that the first attempts to use the waters from Rabaçal for irrigation date back from the Philippine Reign, but there is no document or information that securely confirms this origin entirely. When the construction works started in 1835, traces of ancient constructions were found and according to the more probable estimates, they may be traced back to the third quarter of the eighteenth century.</i></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>We fix here a memorable date in the history of Rabaçal - September 16th, 1855 - when the waters crossed for the first time the Estrebarias Tunnel, going from the north to the south of the island to fertilize vast grounds that were uncultivated. </i></div>
<i></i><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><i>During the works, which took more than half a century, there were several changes. To finish the levada, they spent a large sum, but the great enterprise is still here to eloquently test the zeal, dedication and love of some men for the prosperity and well-being of our land.</i></i></div>

<i>There are two levadas in Rabaçal: the old and the new. The works of the old levada ended only in 1860 and the new levada were only finally completed in 1890. The new levada is fed by the waters from 25 Fontes and Fonte do Cedro (Ribeira dos Cedros).</i></div>

<br />
<i>Rabaçal is one of the most sought areas by tourists because it offers various interconnected trails and various points of interest. The Risco waterfall with 120m and the 25 fountains waterfall with 65m are two of the main points of interest in the footpaths of the Rabaçal area. With this cache I intend to show two places where you can have different perspectives of these two beautiful waterfalls.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>STAGE 1 - POÇO DO RISCO (120m)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Para chegar até esta área deverás seguir pelo percurso das 25 fontes, passar a ponte, subir as escadas e ao chegar à pequena casa das águas, virar para a pequena levada que vai buscar água à cascata do Risco.<br />
Segue essa levada até à madre e responde à seguinte pergunta:<br />
<br />
<i>To reach this area you should follow the 25 Fontes route, pass the bridge, up the stairs till you reach the small water house. Then turn right to the little levada (water channel) that gets water from the Risco waterfall.</i><br />
<i>Follow this levada till its origin and answer the following question:</i><br />
<br />
<b>Olha para o Risco. Na margem direita, a construção possui qual destas formas geométricas?</b><br />
<b><i>Facing Risco, on the right bank, there is a concrete structure. Which is its geometrical form?</i> </b><br />

<b>FINAL STAGE - CASCATA DA ÁGUA NEGRA (70m)</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Agora que já tens as coordenadas finais, volta para o trilho principal para as 25 fontes. Após alguns metros, encontra o pequeno trilho à direita (waypoint e spoiler). Pouco depois da subida, irás encontrar um local com uma boa panorâmica. Após este pequeno intervalo, continua a tua caminhada e começa a procurar um trilho menos marcado à direita (waypoint). Tem atenção que o sinal GPS começa a ser mais fraco. Este trilho está pouco marcado e será fácil perder o seu rasto. Em certos locais poderá ser necessário um pouco de improviso. O trilho termina na margem direita da Ribeira da Água Negra. Continua sempre em frente e sobe mais um pouco sempre pela direita. Quando estiveres perante a cascata, procura o spoiler e a cache.<br />

After a few meters, go to the small trail to the right (waypoint and spoiler). Shortly after the climb, you will find a place with a good panoramic view. After this short break, continue your walk and begin looking for a less marked trail to your right (waypoint). Be aware that the GPS signal begins getting weaker. This trail is poorly marked and it will be easy to lose your track. In some places a little improvisation may be necessary. The trail ends on the right bank of the Ribeira da Água Negra. Keep going up and climb using the trail on the right. When you stand before the waterfall, look for the spoiler and cache.</i><br />

Esta cache irá te conduzir ao longo da Ribeira do Porco. Este curso de água nasce na Boca das Torrinhas (1430m) e é uma das mais caudalosas da ilha. A origem do seu nome é desconhecida mas deve-se provavelmente à importância destes animais para a subsistência dos locais. De acordo com o arrolamento do gado de 1893 haviam na freguesia cerca de 4060 porcos.<br />
