Tour Itinerary
Ponta do Sol
Starting at Ponta do Sol, the island’s sunniest spot offers a romantic setting. Its sunny, old town has narrow streets, charming spots, and sits in a valley with many banana trees, feeling calm yet vibrant.
Moledos Viewpoint
The Moledos Viewpoint, situated at the Arco da Calheta, presents a stunning panoramic view of Madalena do Mar and Canhas, found between Calheta and Madalena do Mar.
Prazeres
After enjoying lunch, the tour carries on the journey to discover other beautiful fishing villages. Prazeres is a small agricultural settlement around a church, with its massive towers appearing far too large for the place. The region around Prazeres still has many old one room houses built from dark basalt with unplasted walls.
Ponta do Pargo
Ponta do Pargo, at Madeira’s westernmost tip, boasts a lighthouse perched 312m above sea level. Named after dolphin fish, it offers breathtaking views of the coast and flatlands. Surrounded by vineyards and vegetable fields, it’s truly remarkable.
Paul do Mar
After departing Ponta do Pargo, you’ll arrive at Paul do Mar. Its coastal exposure and historical significance as “Sitio da Lagoa” or “Alagoa” were defined by the ocean’s presence. Historically prone to flooding, a salt factory once operated here, now replaced by a new sea wall and infrastructure, mitigating the risk of inundation.
Jardim do Mar
An instantly likeable place, the traditional fishing village of Jardim do Mar has a marine promenade which is delightful to walk. It has a sheer cliff tower above the village. It is the surfing centre of Madeira. Believe it or not, there is a route up the steep cliff which was the only route to get in and out of the village
Calheta
Calheta a pretty village set in a steep valley just above the coast. The main town of the south western coast of Madeira, a fertile sunbathed region. The town of Calheta was built in an inlet by the mouth of the stream due to the permanent sun, the recent artificial sand beach and marine make it a town for leisure.
