  6. Yes, Jardim do Mar, hve actally walked to the end hoping to find something interesting, nothing there, so the white elephant remark makes sense!

    Ah Jardim do Mar! One of the best best surf spots in the world, until it was wrecked by that stupid promanade! Shame of you Maderia!

  11. I can see a phare in the picture –is it past Canical towards Ponta Wotsit?

  12. is it in Sao jorge?

  13. You are all miles off. There are several clues in the pic so keep on guessing. What is a phare?

    13
  14. A huge thing that flashes at night!

  15. Not Lido?

    15
  16. Between Faja d’ovelha and Ponta do Pargo?

    16
  17. No to all.

    Sheila perhaps you should upgrade your difficulty rating a little

  18. Ponta Delgada ?

  19. Is it that place between Porto Moniz and Achada da cruz, where you have to get the old cable car down to the sea front?

  20. Christo Rei

  21. Canico de Baixo?

  22. I’ve changed my mind–Praira Formosa–I’m certain!

  23. we might have a winner, but it will have to wait for Sheila to check in tomorrow, but keep going just in case. One answer is close but it’s not as exact as the answer I was given

    23
  24. Praia areia, São Vicente ?

  25. Congratulations, Noud – spot on! I really thought I had you all stumped there for a while. Perhaps the difficulty rating was a bit more than six – my husband Derek thinks “eight” would have been better. He suggested the venue for my photo, by the way. He’s a keen walker and knows Madeira well.

  26. Whatever the answer is, Sheila (and I haven’t got a clue!), well done for getting everyone guessing.

  27. I think the photo is taken in Jardim Do Mar on the new promenade looking west !

    Praia areia, São Vicente
