Traveler reviews
Black Forest
★★★★★5 months agoQuiet and nice place to walk/jog or unwind. You can watch the sunset here. Walk then dine to cafes that you pass by. Overall, a beautiful area that I would recommend for people to visit. I walked there from Funchal 4 days in a row. 😁🤭
Sunny Kaura
★★★★★9 months agoWorth the walk along this area - sunset is a beautiful time! don't rush just take your time, watch the waves - if you're lucky the sea will have some swells and waves.
