Hello everyone
I’m in a very complicated situation. My parents and I came to Madeira a few days ago. Yesterday we decided to have a chill day. But my parents wanted to have a little walk in the afternoon after lunch and I chose to stay in the house. They left the house at 2:30pm and they never came back. We are located at Sao Vicente near the faja da areia.
