Highlight • Religious Site

As usual, it is decorated in beautiful white with natural stone... a piece of jewelry from the outside

One of the most isolated points - of the already isolated - Porto Santo Island. The views here are unique and reveal a geology quite different from that of Madeira Island (it's a bit reminiscent of the Azores). Enjoy the wonderful views of the site.

Ponta da Calheta Beach

Highlight • Beach

You could even believe that the lack of beaches with light sand in Madeira is due to their abundance in Ponta da Calheta. Jokes aside, it is a fascinating beach, rare in the archipelago, and an ideal end point for cyclists of all levels.

Cycle Path of Estrada da Ponta da Calheta

Highlight • Cycleway

This cycle path follows almost the entire Estrada da Ponta da Calheta. As it is entirely flat, it provides an excellent route for families or beginner cyclists. It is also very interesting to witness the contrast of the landscapes of Madeira Island with those of Porto Santo Island.

Unfortunately, my battery ran out, we still got around the island completely. Think it was about 40 KM
Luckily I was able to take the photos with Lena's cell phone. Nice that Komoot assigns these to the location. great app
