The north of Madeira
In the north of Madeira you will find very beautiful mountains and coastal areas. We drove our rental car from Funchal to Serra De Agua and then over the high mountains to Sao Vicente. From there you drive along the coast to Santana. In Santana there are a few replicas of the typical houses with the pointed roofs in the center of town. If you have children, the Madeira Theme Park may be interesting. The park is like a kind of open-air museum with smaller rides.
