Achadas da Cruz is a parish located within the boundaries of Porto Moniz. It is located on the northwestern part of Madeira. What is most notable about this area has to be the Quebrada Nova Fields. These fields are on the coastline, reachable by a car cable that takes you from the cliffside to sea level.
As you descent down the cliffside, you are greeted by the incredible vegetation that defines Madeira. Pretty soon, you will come to notice the agricultural landscape of Quebrada Nova, where rocky walls separate farmland from homes. Once you arrive on the ground, you can take a well maintained brick path through the village and along the coast.
The area is just so incredibly peaceful, with the ocean waves crashing against the rocks and the wind howling across the landscape. You can walk about 2 km down the pathway until it dead ends, but our favorite place was closest to the rocky beach where we snacked and watched the waves.

Drone laws in Portugal: In order to fly your drone in Portugal, you should have a A1/A3 certification in the OPEN category in any EU member state (I have one from Sweden). This allows you to fly (under certain restrictions) within other EU countries. The standard rules apply such as flying within visual line of sight, not flying at night, only 120 meters in elevation, and not over crowds or sensitive infrastructure. Furthermore, other restrictions may also be enacted by the Portuguese Tranport Authority. I used their official drone map on their website to plan my overflights beforehand.
