Fanal is a beautiful forest area nestled between the Seixal and Ribeira da Janela mountains. It's a peaceful spot perfect for enjoying the best of nature. This stunning place is one of the highlights of Porto Moniz, known for its breathtaking scenery.

Fanal is famous for its ancient Til trees (Ocotea foetens), part of the Laurissilva forest, which has been around since before the island was discovered. These trees are incredibly well-preserved and thriving.

The area offers a variety of natural attractions, including viewpoints, a picnic area with a public barbecue, and a winter lake formed in an old crater. Fanal is a great place to explore, relax, and take in the beauty of nature. It's even designated as a Rest and Quiet Reserve by Madeira Natural Park.

Important Note: Please respect the ancient Til trees by not climbing on or sitting on them, ensuring that these unique trees can survive for many generations to come.
