Santana
A small village of restored houses
Madeirans no longer live in small triangular houses as shown in postcards but you can still find a few ones in Santana. As a tourist, you will enjoy a small village of restored houses now used as shops and the tourism office of Santana.
While strolling you will see a few houses of that kind in the north of Madeira, but this time they are used for storing equipment and livestock.
