16 June 2017, Mike took a taxi from Ponta Delgada Marina to Mirador do Caminho Novo (€8 ), then hiked the PRC20SMI route to Rocha do Cascalho then Rocha do Relva.
There was a person sitting at the Miradouro employed by the whale watching boat companies whose job was to direct their boats to the areas where whales could be seen. She was equiped with powerful binocculars and a VHF radio.
Looking back at the town of Relva
Looking from the Miradoura towards the start of the PRC 20 SMI Hike
The route - Viewranger map
The split in the trail - turned left here to visit the Rocha do Cascalho
There was even a public toilet behind the picnic area - Rocha do Cascalho
Back on the trail towards Rocha da Relva
Rocha da Relva comes into view
Local transport
The first cottages of Rocha da Relva
Small vineyards
Transport resting
Returning via the same route
Phoned the taxi to collect me from the Miradoura do Cominho Novo - a very enjoyable hike.
