North Madeira
Santana is the main town in the North of the Island – the selling point of this town is a number of thatched old houses. There isn’t much to recommend Santana itself though. There is little in Santana – a few cafes, restaurants and a few thatched houses with a distinctly touristy tacky atmosphere. The one interesting thing about Santana is how rustic life is in this part of Madeira and you get a feel for life outside of Funchal.
For those interested in volcanoes, there is a Volcanic Visitor centre and lava tunnels to visit in Sao Vicente.
An ecological park called Queimadas in the North of Madeira which is a recommended place to visit if you enjoy hiking and being in the great outdoors in the rainforest.
