The trail name you asked about — "Moinho António Vieira – Pico do Lombo Galêgo – Museu da Família Teixeira" — doesn't match any of the official IFCN-recommended PR trails in our database. I searched for it by full name and by each of its landmarks, and also looked at the wider AllTrails community catalogue around Porto Moniz, and it didn't appear there either.

However, the area it describes — around Pico do Lombo Galêgo in the municipality of Porto Moniz — is well covered by several official and community routes. Here are the closest ones:

Community routes (not official IFCN PR trails)

The closest community-mapped route is Monte Terça – Porta da Vila – Casa do Eiras — a 14 km loop through the Laurissilva forest that passes windmills (moinhos) and rural buildings in the hills above Porto Moniz, including Monte da Terça (938 m). It's rated 4.0★ from 70 reviews on AllTrails. This is a community route mapped on AllTrails — not part of Madeira's official PR trail network managed by IFCN, so it has no official open/closed status and no maintenance or signage guarantee.

Another nearby option is Lamaceiros – Caminho do Castanheiro – Levada do Moinho (11.1 km, moderate loop, 3.7★) — also an unofficial community route.

What about your specific trail? The name "Moinho António Vieira – Pico do Lombo Galêgo – Museu da Família Teixeira" sounds like a local/municipal route (possibly managed by the Câmara de Porto Moniz) that sits outside the official IFCN PR network. If you have a link or more details (like a PR code or a source page), I'd be happy to dig deeper.
