Glossary for travelling to Madeira

Mots spécifiques à la cartographie de Madère :

When I started to work on this site, I realised that some words were often used, especially in the cartography part. At the beginning I was content to use existing GPX tracks, notably for all the known spots of the island: the picos, the levadas, then as I went along, I created a few routes for short walks, in order to illustrate the site properly. So I listed some key words that I often came across.
