Hiking in Porto Santo!

Porto Santo for so long has been known as “that little beach island” of which you could explore “in one day”. It’s cristal clear water and golden sand beach was always and will always be it’s number one asset but this year, we’ve seen Porto Santo being explored like never before!

There are 2 official hikes in Porto Santo and I believe another 6 or so unofficial hikes. Now I’m all about a good balance, I don’t want to spend every single day hiking, nor do I want to spend every hour on the beach so for that reason I find that 2 hikes is more than enough to compliment the many other array of activities available in Porto Santo.

I was lucky enough to spend almost 2 weeks in the “ilha dourada” for my mother’s 60th birthday family vacation. Being a special occasion, I wanted the trip to be a memorable one, so we took the easyJet (our orange Land Rover Discovery) and showed the family a great adventure with one hike, 3 sunrises, some horse-riding on the beach, snorkelling, great food and lots and lots of sun and sand!
