Description

Dive into the laid-back lifestyle and stunning scenery of Madeira's southwest coast on the 'Southwest Splendors' tour. Begin your journey in Ponta do Sol, a picturesque town nestled between steep cliffs and the sparkling Atlantic, known for its sunny disposition and vibrant cultural scene. Explore its charming streets and waterfront, perfect for capturing memorable photos. Next, travel to Calheta, famous for its artificial golden sand beach and marina. Here, you can relax on the beach or visit the local sugar cane factory to taste Madeira’s traditional sugarcane spirit. Continue to Prazeres, a quaint village with a rural charm, home to a small zoo and a beautiful parish church. Prazeres is also known for its organic farming; don't miss the chance to sample fresh local produce at the farmers' market. Afterwards, your tour takes you to Jardim do Mar, a favorite among surfers for its impressive waves and stunning sunset views. Stroll along the pebbled lanes, soak in the serene atmosphere and enjoy a coffee at one of the seafront terraces. Conclude your day in Paúl do Mar, a traditional fishing village that feels like stepping back in time. Walk along the promenade, watch local fishermen at work, and perhaps try some freshly caught seafood at a seaside restaurant. This tour showcases the tranquil beauty and unique culture of Madeira's less-trodden southwest coast, offering a perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and natural beauty.
