^{A very special hike with a special guide.}

^{We meet at the Sol e Mar restaurant and start our hike with a short walk through the village. Then begins the steep climb towards Raposeira. The path is wild, steep, and slippery in places—but the higher we climb, the more impressive the view of Paul do Mar becomes.
Kitty walks ahead, sometimes disappearing for a while, but always returning to check if we can keep up. She leads us through fields and meadows as we enjoy the silence, breathe in the fresh air, and discover the variety of flowers. Finally, we reach Raposeira, where old houses and friendly locals await us, always open for a little chat.
Our path takes us along a levada for a while before we switch to a newly constructed path towards Fajã da Ovelha. The views are simply spectacular! Then we walk a short distance along the road – Kitty, now reluctantly on a leash, acts as if she hasn’t taken a single step.
Finally, we reach the starting point of our descent from Fajã da Ovelha to Paul do Mar. In the warm sun, we walk downhill, always towards the sea. Once at the bottom, the water invites us to swim or enjoy a cool drink at the Bar da Praia. Kitty is greeted enthusiastically by the locals – and is still full of energy!}
