Looked to me as if the actual ground was made up by a retaining wall then

on is made of small pieces of basalt rock rather like a mosaic in all one

Lovely - I'm collecting examples of surfaces and textures - this is
quite amazing and I don't know much about Madeira. Thank you for
sharing these. Could I use this photo - not for publication. Yet ;o)

Yes, its not very clear, but then I was not photographing the stones!!
They use a lot of these small round basalt pebbles in there paths, they
look fab but are leathal when wet.
