Description

Battling rain and wind, I decided to cut the day short, considering it a half-rest day. Even adverse weather couldn't dampen the spirit of this adventure. Additional Info: São João da Madeira, a town with a rich industrial history, is known for its hat-making heritage. The Industrial Museum is a fascinating stop for history enthusiasts.
