Om
Raske fakta: Brightly painted triangular houses with steep red thatched roofs create a fairy-tale scene. Locals originally built these uniquely shaped homes to withstand strong winds and heavy rain.
Høydepunkter: A cool secret lies in the colorful wooden doors, each one hand-painted with motifs reflecting family trades and local legends. The oddly shaped roofs are not just charming but ingeniously designed to help rainwater run off quickly in Madeira's wet climate.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes for walking uneven cobblestone streets.
- Bring a camera for vivid photo opportunities of colorful doors and roofs.
- Visit a local artisan shop nearby to see traditional crafts in action.
- Avoid peak midday hours to beat crowds and enjoy a quieter experience.
