Day 2: Hike Porto Moniz → Seixal | Transfer back to Porto Moniz

We begin the crossing with a classic Madeira start: big coastal views and immediate elevation change. Expect a day that feels “real” right away—climbs, descents, and lush green terrain as we work toward Seixal. After the hike, we transfer back to Porto Moniz for the night. (L)

What to expect on trail:
- A challenging opening profile (climb early, legs wake up fast)
- Alternating rugged footpaths and forested sections
- Frequent viewpoints over the Atlantic and the north-coast cliffs
- Approximate distance: 12 miles
