Malua is at 32:44.1N 16:44.0W at Conical Marina on 5/10/2012
We had an easy sail south from Santos to the main island of Madeira and checked in to the smaller marina here at Conical. It is a huge development with a marina at the base of the hill surrounded by very upmarket apartment blocks. I took a bus into town which turned out to be quite small and clustered around a fishing harbour and up a steep valley. - Not a place for bicycles. I had to walk home because I could not wait for the bus. Today we set off on one of the many tramping paths on the island.
A magical moment on Malua.
