I was hoping someone might know if a hiker could drive to the Mata do Canario trailhead, do the hike to Sete Cidades, stay there overnight and hike back the next day to pickup the vehicle? Or do the authorities frown on this. I don't want to break any rules nor do I wish to upset any one. Rick

I don't recommend that plan. The odds are high that the police will be notified.
I suggest leaving the car at your lodging and getting a taxi to drop you off at the start of the trail. The cost is probably under 10 euros, or there about.
