Welcome to Pico & Poncha:
Your one-stop Madeira travel blog.
My name’s Katie – I created this blog for everyone who’s tired of visiting the same old tourist destinations.
Pico & Poncha is all about uncovering the island’s less-visited hikes and destinations.
At the same time, I want to make travelling the island as easy as possible for first-timers, so I’ll cover all island necessities (…including poncha and pastel da nata).
