Recipe Seven Seas Creamy Italian Dressing TRIP TO MADEIRA
DAY 15 LEVADA Caldeirão GREEN-SANTANA-CAMARA DE LOBOS
A very cheeky cat has asked me to eat, then upload to my legs and finally sat at the table and finished my breakfast.
After the story we went to Santana, to catch the Levada do Caldeirao Green .. Never for very sunny day it is let's take a raincoat. I forgot this basic advice and Paul ended up doing the tour wearing a reflective vest in the car. Although it was sunny in Afonso Villa in the area of Santana thick fog covered everything. We took the road to Pico Ruivo and hardly see anything. We arrived at a parking lot. Mojabarbas fell that eventually get wet, but the thick vegetation protected from rainGreen Caldeirão ombre. Once there, you can still do Inferno Caldeirao way, but we opted to return. Back, next to the parking was a bar where you can drink. Back
Santana went through, where you can see the typical houses of similar style to a shed in Valencia. Then visit House of Wolves, typical fishing village, with some nice houses and a port apañadito, but we must not spend much longer. For dinner we tried the typical brochette of meat.
DAY 16 SANTA MAGDALENA, MONTE,
Funchal Calheta
First we went to, that will appeal to those who enjoy the typical sun and beach tourism. It has a very attractive marina with watercraftships and several terraces and a artificial sand beach. You can rent chairs and bathing, because there area monitored by lifeguards and the water is very calm. We were looking kayaks, we were informed that there could be rented, but did not find them anywhere. So after a walk, we decided to go to Santa Magdalena, to try diving. It has a small beach area with black sand, stones, where there is also a lifeguard service. It also has a promenade, with changing rooms, solarium, showers, toilets ... They should learn many English beaches. However, you must be very careful with the sea. Apparently calm, I had a little scare, because I chose to jump into the sea after passing through a rocky area. Leaving, Water and rocks tore slipped, so I had to throw myself again and go diving in the middle of the beach where there was some hangover and no visibility. I banged my knee and scratched me, but I got out. The view was interesting, much like you see when you snorkel in Cabo Girao.
After a brief stop at the hotel to change clothes, we headed to Mt. Monte is famous for the possibility it offers to throw down the mountain called sledges. You sit and a man dressed in white with a straw hat walks you down the slope. Not tested, but we saw. We also make a souvenir photo. One option is to come up with the cable car. But it is more economical to do so by car. Of course, the road cangardens of the casino and we strolled through the port. From there you can buy with tickets for trips (see dolphins, go to the deserted islands, swim in front of Cape tour and travel in a replica of a caravel ..) But what we liked were the pictures they have painted sailors have passed through the port, about all the world: Norway, Scotland, Spain ...
the way back to Villa Afonso, Paul was taking a nap while I swam in the pool and lay in the sun listening to music. Then participate in a wine tasting. Afonso has a sort of cellar with a barrel which rests a Madeira wine 50 years old. Cognac smells like and tastes very nice, sweet. Then we got a video which explainedthe history of Madeira wine. I understand that currently leave in a few large deposits of metal and not wood because high temperatures conducive to acquiring the flavor previously thought they could up the barrels by ship and sailing. He also talked about the banana plantations (as in the Canaries, Madeira large tracts of cultivated banana, and Afonso had a plantation). He explained that the bananas are harvested green tree that will not be damaged during collection. That when cut, the plant dies and the next generation is collected from the daughter of the previous plant. People asked about the possibility of a walk around the plantation and were warned to be careful with clothing, because the brothNchalo. It has an area (Palm Beach) very nice. It has a promenade with a swimming pool, boat rentals, a garden with a bird cage ... We dined at a restaurant located next to the parish church, in a pedestrian area. We seafood rice ball and do caco, with white wine. The price, 35 euros, and abundant quantities.
