Sao Jorge is part of the municipality of Santana and is located on a really beautiful bay.
Right on the bay there is a restaurant and a small kiosk with a beautifully situated terrace.
You can eat warm dishes here, but also snacks and cakes.
We looked at the very beautiful little bay with the nearby ruins…

Today was a little relaxation announced after all the many hikes.
One area we hadn't covered yet was the very well known and widely spread Santana.
We had read so much about it and noticed the typical Santana houses everywhere, so today we decided to visit parts of the village.
Yes, you should have looked…

For today we have made the west of the island.
It was supposed to be something easy and relaxed and we didn't expect too much from the circular hike, but when we finished the hike we were more than pleasantly surprised.
We drive to Ponta da Pargo by car and park it just below the church on the side of…

Today it was her turn, the tour to the 25 springs (25 fontes) of Rabacal.
We had read a lot in advance that you absolutely have to have been there, but that it should always be overcrowded there. That's why we decided not to take the normal tour, not just to the 25 Fontes and back like the tour is run…

According to the weather forecast, this week should be completely bad...
The day today taught us once again that you shouldn't trust the weather forecast...
Today the weather was great!
We drive to Porto da Cruz by car and park it there in a free parking lot. Then we walk a few meters to the taxi rank near…

With its mild climate, Funchal is the ideal destination for a short break at any time of the year. There are many corners to visit in this more than 500-year-old city, and some are really not to be missed...just look at the photos😃

After our tour through the levada from Lamaceiros to the Ribeira da Janela valley, we had to drive past Porto Moniz anyway.
We had previously read about the place and the natural sea swimming pools, so when we drove through the place, we knew we had to go through this again...
It is a small but very pretty…

After two somewhat physically demanding tours over the last two days, we decided to go on a levada hike in the north-east of the island today.
We could have called the hike "A picnic in the jungle"...
We drive from Funchal for about 50 minutes towards Porto Moniz and then to the starting point of the tour…

Also today we decided again at short notice to do this tour.
The decisive factor was the weather forecast for the coming week and it didn't look good from Wednesday.
For today, Monday, sun was indicated and we thought it would be like that on the Pico do Arieiro, unfortunately we were wrong...
The drive…

Today was our last day of vacation and we had a choice of doing nothing or going on another tour...
The result was clear, it should be a farewell tour from Madeira.
It should be something small and cute.
We decided on the Maloeira circular route, which we had already touched on during the Paul do Mar coastal…
