For those who want to "drive around the island," there are also driving routes with real-time travel times, rest stops, and tips on where to park at popular viewpoints. in the descriptions of trails and levadas I provide information on the difficulty level, route length, exposed sections, tunnels, and even whether a headlamp is needed and when it is better to give up due to the weather.
