    Cactus figs, if you want you can eat them, but be careful when you open them, you can hardly get the thorns out of your skin.

    In the Zona Especial de Conservação do Pináculo, you'll occasionally encounter bright green prickly pear cacti, which thrive on the warm, dry slopes. Nestled among the rocks and coastal vegetation, they add splashes of color and demonstrate the remarkable adaptability of Madeira's flora. A small but captivating natural spectacle along the way.
