It therefore has no official open/closed status and no guarantee of maintenance or signage; check access and conditions locally before going.

The trail starts at the Chapel of St Peter (Capela de São Pedro) and follows dirt paths around Pico Ana Ferreira up to the baloiço (swinging viewpoint bench) at Miradouro das Flores — one of Porto Santo's most iconic photo spots. From there it climbs Espigão Hill, a mountainous area with fantastic panoramic scenery, before looping back to the starting point.
It's a wonderful way to experience the smaller island of Porto Santo, famed as a peaceful retreat for both tourists and locals.
Since this isn't an official PR trail, there are no IFCN status updates for it — do check locally for current path conditions. Want me to look up the official PR trails on Porto Santo as an alternative, or check the weather forecast there for the day you're planning to go?
