PORTUGAL Ribeira Brava and Ponta do Sol, Madeira (25 January 2016)
I have re-edited the video recordings we made during our visit to Madeira in 2016. Join us on our trips day by day. From Ribeira Brava we drove into the mountains and in the afternoon we went to our hotel in Ponta do Sol.
(partly original sounds)
Madeira is one of the two autonomous regions of Portugal, the other being the Azores. It is an archipelago situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, in a region known as Macaronesia, just under 400 kilometres to the north of the Canary Islands and 520 kilometres west of Morocco. Madeira is geologically located on the African Tectonic Plate, though the archipelago is culturally, economically and politically European. Its total population was estimated in 2021 at 251,060. The capital of Madeira is Funchal, which is located on the main island's south coast.
The archipelago includes the islands of Madeira, Porto Santo, and the Desertas. The autonomous region is an integral part of the European Union as an outermost region. Madeira generally has a very mild and moderate subtropical climate with mediterranean summer droughts and winter rain.
Madeira, originally uninhabited, was claimed by Portuguese sailors in the service of Prince Henry the Navigator in 1419 and settled after 1420. The archipelago is considered to be the first territorial discovery of the exploratory period of the Age of Discovery.
As of 2017, it was a popular year-round resort, being visited every year by about 1.4 million tourists, almost six times its population. The region is noted for its Madeira wine, gastronomy, historical and cultural value, flora and fauna, landscapes (laurel forest) that are classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and embroidery artisans. The main harbour in Funchal has long been the leading Portuguese port in cruise liner dockings, receiving more than half a million tourists through its main port in 2017, being an important stopover for commercial and trans-Atlantic passenger cruises between Europe, the Caribbean and North Africa.

Costa sur de Madeira (III): Calhau da Lapa (Ribeira Brava)
El Calhau da Lapa es un lugar poco conocido y de gran belleza entre Ribeira Brava y Cabo Girão. Una semana después de mi visita, el acceso al público fue cerrado debido a la inestabilidad del acantilado. Poco después, algunos desprendimientos causaron daños de consideración en el lugar y el espacio fue expropiado al completo.
Al parecer, una de las causas de la inestabilidad fue el empleo de martillos neumáticos para ampliar las casas-cueva.
En el momento de escribir esto, no hay ninguna previsión acerca de su reapertura o de los usos que los antiguos propietarios puedan dar a las que fueron sus propiedades.

TRANSCRIPT:
There is a secret place,
- in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
A lush volcanic rock,
- that few people know about.
It's called Madeira,
- but is it really a secret?
Well, as you can see there is an airport here,
- but there are no airplanes!
That's of course not true.
Madeira has been a popular travel destination for many years,
- but it's still widely undiscovered compared to the Canary Islands,
- Crete and Mallorca, Madeira barely exists.
And that's why we made this video.
We think this is Europe's best island,
- and the last secret paradise!
Welcome to paradise!
And that's also why we live here.
We have a hundred hours to show you all the things,
- that makes Madeira a true bucket list destination.
We will also show you how to travel this island,
- so you might want to bookmark this one.
There are four things that makes Madeira a paradise.
Fantastic weather.
Amazing food.
Epic nature.
And wonderful places to stay.
You have world-class luxury hotels here.
How about this breakfast view at Cliff Bay?
Or this pool at Les Suites?
This is probably the greatest hotel room on Madeira.
Funchal is the only big city on Madeira.
How about the tuna of your dreams in the old town?
Or the world's best chicken piri piri at Hoyo Hoyo?
Welcome to Il Gallo D'oro, guys.
This is a two star Michelin restaurant,
Madeira even produces both red and white wine.
- they actually cheered in Madeira wine.
It is truly wonderful to try this creative take on the Madeiran food,
- but honestly we need to talk about the traditional food as well.
This is a prego,
- and this is the Madeiran answer to a steak sandwich.
What about espetada?
Lapas?
The original Madeira hamburger?
Or picado?
It's perfect warm-up for tomorrow's sunrise hike, you know.
For getting around Madeira we suggest you rent a car or scooter,
- but since you most certainly will fall in love with the delicious poncha,
- you can also hire a driver.
And this is Lido. A perfect place to go for a stroll,
- and to have the best Italian food here on this island.
And this incredible restaurant is located on the beautiful Villa Porto Mare Hotel.
We made it to the garden of Monte Palace, guys,
- and usually people will come by the cable cars that go from the city center of Funchal.
This place is a magical fairy tale world with so much history that you must visit.
In wintertime you can literally go from snow on the mountain top to tropical ocean life.
On our way to the old town we bumped into the Tobaggan sleds.
This is such a cool experience and definitely worth doing.
It might come as a surprise that Funchal has this authentic pure European charm.
Here are three more things you must do in Funchal.
Number one is to go for a Madeira wine tasting at Blandy's.
Go have a poncha at our favorite place.
And also walk the Piornais levada,
As you will fall in love with the old town,
- consider also staying at the Porto Santo Maria hotel.
- for an early sunrise hike at Pico Ruivo.
Ribeira Brava centro MADEIRA Portugal
Esta freguesia tem o nome de Ribeira Brava porque desde sempre é conhecida pelas ribeiras cheias devido às fortes chuvas.
No início do século XX foi elevada a concelho.
É muito conhecida pelo seu vale e ribeiras.
The parish has the name of Ribeira Brava because it has always been known for its flooded streams due to heavy rains.
