The bus back through the valley went up and over the ridge instead of through the main tunnel.
It was nice to be able to see Pico Grande again, which I randomly climbed a few days earlier, from the other side. It looked a bit bigger from over here.

There’s not much to say about the town of Ribeira Brava.. I was only here for an hour to change buses. It just felt like a place people just passed through on their way somewhere else.

I did find an old staircase up to an abandoned building on the cliffside - and noticed an interesting mudslide on the other side of the valley.
Wonder what the story is there.
Anyways, back to Funchal
