The View

The View, Masca

Transportation  

A bendy road

A bendy road, Masca

 mabu Says:  There are two very narrow and bendy roads leading to Masca. So probably you will get there using a car, it's a nice drive if you like bendy and narrow mountain roads. If you don't like that kind of driving it will be a nightmare! There are organised Coach tours to Masca too.... 

Shopping  

In a Jam

The only one: Jam

Bendy roads

Bendy roads, Masca

 mabu Says:  If you are not used to drive on these narrow bendy roads or are affraid of heights don't go to masca with your own car! The roads leading to Masca are very steep, narrow and bendy!

The best time to get there..., Masca

 mabu Says:  Try to get there early or in the afternoon. The Village is only small and around midday the most tourists are there and make the place a bit crowded.
