PR19 Caminho Real do Paul do Mar is a historic trail in Madeira that takes you on a journey through traditional terraced landscapes and stunning coastal views. The 1.8 km trail starts in Prazeres and ends in the charming village of Paul do Mar, offering a mix of moderate to difficult terrain with a steep descent. It's perfect for hikers looking to explore Madeira's history while soaking in the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean. Just be prepared for some challenging but rewarding moments along the way!

If you love the stepper machine at the gym, you will definitely enjoy this hike, especially if you do it both ways: first, descend to the town of Paul do Mar, then climb back up to Prazeres. It's the 500-meter ascent back to Prazeres that will give you real satisfaction :)

Follow my route if you want to repeat this short but interesting hike.
