Beautiful view from our hotel room. Excellent customer service. Easy access to the tidal pools. Very walkable. Parking is a bit confusing because it is just down the street. They have construction in front of the hotel but that was fine. Delicious breakfast.

Ribeiro Frio Natural Park

Ribeiro Frio Natural Park is just one of the places to see in Santana, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels? While you're in the area, wander around the gardens.

This was taken on my way to the highest peak in Madeira, a beautiful little Portuguese isalnd near the African coast. I met the most friendliest people here on this isalnd. Madeira is so small that you do not need 1 month to go and see everything there is and elderly people speak very good English too !
