I have a free morning in madeira and would like to spend it at one landscape viewpoint rather than moving between several stops for photographs. i am based in funchal without a rental car which makes the journey back as important as the view itself. i am happy to go after the early rush and i would prefer a place where i can walk safely and wait if a cloud passes through. some dramatic viewpoints appear easy on a map but a steep final road or infrequent bus could make the outing much longer than expected. i would take an accessible place over the most spectacular photograph especially if conditions higher up are unsettled. for an initial shortlist i looked at 3 days in madeira without a car but i am checking individual routes instead of assuming every suggested stop works by bus. would you stay near funchal for this kind of morning? a short taxi ride for the last section is possible although i would still want a clear way to return. i can keep the morning flexible around the forecast and i would check current access information before setting off. i would appreciate a route that leaves enough time to get back comfortably.
