Paúl da Serra, Madeira, December 2011

Paúl da Serra is Madeiras central highland and often shrouded in mist. Paúl da Serra is the longest plateau, as well as the highest one in Madeira Island with 20 square kilometres of area. Due to the 3 thousand mm/year of rain, combined with the topography and permeability of soil and rocks this is like a big reservoir of water for the whole island.
