    Hiking

    Santa Maria Street runs right through the heart of Funchal's old town and is known for its painted doors, small cafes, and lively atmosphere. At the end of the street, you'll reach the São Tiago Fortress, whose yellow walls have protected the coast since the 17th century. The combination of historical charm, public art, and sea views makes this section one of the most delightful spots in the old town.
