Fanal Forest

Why here

When the cloud rolls in, the gnarled silhouettes make the most genuinely enchanted scene in Europe.

Trees that step out of the fog, then back into it.

quiet on weekdays

Without fog it's just a field; with fog the mountain road is dangerous — drive slow and check conditions.
