LOBOS CHAMBER:
Câmara de Lobos is one of the most emblematic tourist centers on the island of Madeira, not only for its picturesque and majestic landscapes, but also for its delicious cuisine and honorable traditions.

It is in the municipality of Câmara de Lobos that the best kebab skewers are made, the traditional “poncha” (spirit drink) and the generous Madeira wine. It is the fishing port of the black swordfish. It is the seat of some of the landscapes and places that most contribute to the dissemination of the natural beauties of this tourist destination that is Madeira, specifically Cabo Girão, Curral das Freiras, Baia de Câmara de Lobos and the Vineyards of Estreito de Câmara de Wolves.

CURRAL DAS FREIRAS:
Curral das Freiras is a small village, surrounded by huge mountains, in the heart of the island.
Curral das Freiras today has a big party. Every year, residents hold the Chestnut Festival - this party appeared because there were many chestnuts in the parish, which were used in various culinary delicacies from soup to cakes and from puddings to liqueurs.

CAPE GIRÃO:
It is the tallest cable in Europe, 580 m high, famous for its suspended glass platform.
The Cabo Girão viewpoint, located on the highest promontory in Europe, at 580 m altitude, offers a dizzying view of the Rancho and Cabo Girão fajãs - small areas of land cultivated at the foot of the cliff, as well as magnificent panoramic views over the ocean and the municipalities of Câmara de Lobos and Funchal.

The viewpoint was the subject of requalification works, having been built a suspended platform in glass, called skywalk.
It is a privileged place for paragliding and base-jumping. Recently, Portuguese parachutist Mário Pardo made a spectacular motorcycle jump from here.


Other cities on Madeira Island

MACHICO:
Machico is a historic city that is the second most populous on the island. Located in the eastern part, Machico was the first capital of Madeira between 1440 and 1496 under the captaincy of Tristão Vaz Teixeira. It was here that the first colonizers loved in 1420 and Funchal only became the capital in 1508. The colonization issue was resolved by dividing the island into two parts: the south and west were given to Captain João Gonçalves Zarco and the north and east were given to Captain Tristão Vaz Teixeira who ordered the construction of the first buildings and the first crops on the island. Associated with the colonizers were the Franciscan friars who were responsible for building chapels. The oldest place of religious worship is the Capela dos Milagres and the Fortes of São João Baptista and Nossa Senhora do Amparo also date from this time.

The modern face of Machico is a guarded pebble and sand beach equipped with showers and bathrooms. And for those who enjoy diving there is a marine reserve on this coast that makes this city very popular with divers.

CALHETA:
Calheta is on the southwest coast and is one of the most scorching tourist spots in Madeira with its beautiful marina and two golden (artificial) beaches. It is one of the favorite places not only for the locals but also for those who visit us. Founded in 1430, Calheta has several churches of great historical value and was one of the first places to be explored by the first colonizers.
Calheta is also famous for producing the best brandy on the island, an essential ingredient of typically Madeiran poncha. If you are interested in knowing how brandy is made, you can pay a visit to Engenho da Calheta, the distillery where you can stroll and try the product. In the main avenue that gives access to the beach there are good restaurants specializing in fish.

FUNCHAL (CAPITAL OF MADEIRA)

The city of Funchal today is very different from Funchal in the era of pirates and fennel. In fact, this modern, cosmopolitan and rejuvenated city is famous for its luxury restaurants, its incredible 4 and 5 star hotels, its constant mild climate and, of course, its most famous export - international footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. That is, it is known for its style and content.

The city itself is inserted in a grand natural amphitheater, facing the Atlantic and contrasting with the imposing mountains. Located in the south of the island of Madeira, on the sunniest coast set in the middle of banana plantations and wonderful gardens where flowers bloom all year round, sheltered in the green mountains, Funchal is a lush and relaxed city during the day and with a vibrant and eclectic nightlife, with numerous personalities.

Funchal has also been, for several years, one of the main passenger ship ports in the Atlantic, and its cruise ship port is located close to the city center. The approach to the port of Funchal is widely recognized as one of the two most spectacular in the world, alongside Rio de Janeiro. It is now a tradition that most European cruise operators spend their first trip here; it is very common to see four cruise ships arriving at the same time. Once on land, the cafes, restaurants and historic sites that mark this capital are just steps away.

Tourists in Funchal also get together to enjoy activities such as diving in the crystal clear waters, boat trips, swimming with dolphins, spending the day at sea watching whales, making excursions along the coast and through the eucalyptus-smelling mountain forests. , go paragliding on the coast, enjoy excellent rounds of golf on the island's famous courses or simply try a snack in the numerous street cafes or on the garden terraces.

The first Madeiran city has a less prominent nightlife than its neighboring islands (Gran Canaria, Tenerife), in such a way that you may come to think that it is a quiet sleeping city for walkers and body and mind enthusiasts . But you're wrong! In fact, on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at night, Funchal comes to life after midnight. There are two stages to a night out in Funchal - the first concerns bars and clubs open from midnight until 4 am, and the second concerns clubs open from 4 am to 7 am. More informed residents and tourists enjoy dinner at normal hours, but instead of leaving right after the meal, they return home and rest for a few hours before leaving for Madeira's night.

Of course, Funchal has not lost its famous charm, as tourists (on the beach and at night) live peacefully among themselves. The island not only strives to take care of the more mature tourists who enjoy long walks in the sun, to enjoy the scenery and outdoor dining, but it is also an increasingly appealing destination for modern European young people, many of them coming from the continent to the island on weekends just to enjoy the parties and nightlife. They are attracted by the wide offer and the fact that, unlike in most European cities, there is practically no crime on the streets, nor groups of drunks that make some parts of the island inadvisable. Funchal is a truly safe city - something that new tourists, lovers of fun, like and respect.

Christmas is a fantastic time, full of fantasy, with festive lights and decorations that illuminate the whole city and the night sky. The urban center becomes a wonderland and the flashing lights that accompany the mountainous streets glimpse Funchal as if they were stars.
