    On the opposite side of the sugar cane factory, which is still in operation today, are these ruins that are reminiscent of the old days of sugar extraction here in town.

        The ruins of the old sugar mill in Porto da Cruz are a reminder of the long tradition of sugar production that shaped Madeira in the 15th and 16th centuries. Among crumbling walls, ancient masonry, and overgrown structures, one can feel the history of this once vital industry. An atmospheric place, perfect for a short historical excursion along the coast.
