About Madalena do Mar
Madalena do Mar hides in a steep valley between the cliffs that define Madeira's southwestern coast.

The journey from Funchal Airport brings you along the coast road with its succession of tunnels and sea glimpses. As you descend into Madalena do Mar, the village reveals itself gradually - whitewashed houses, church tower, and endless green of banana leaves.
