What to do and see in Funchal, Madeira Islands: The Best Monuments & Statues

February 27, 2022 Jacquiline Darosa

Funchal, the capital of the Madeira archipelago, was declared a city in the 1500s, and became an important point between the old and new worlds. The laid-back city owes much of its historical prominence to "white gold," Madeiran sugar. Today Funchal is known for its appealing temperatures, wine and crafts. Top spots to visit include the open Worker's Market, Blandy's Wine Lodge and the Sacred Art Museum. Friendly locals, walkable streets and cheap taxis make the city easy to get around.

We passed this walking from Funchal to Camera de lobos. I did nt fancy chancing things withe traffic to understand what it was and had to ask Dr Google once I got back. Perhaps a plaque on the pavement might be an idea?
