What to do and see in Madeira, Madeira Islands: The Best Bodies of Water
Breezy Madeira is an eponymous island in the Madeira Islands, a Portuguese archipelago. The capital city of Funchal was settled in the 15th century and is a colorful collection of gardens, religious sites, and quirky tourist attractions like the thatched-roof Madeira Story Centre. Hike to the summit of Pico Ruivo and you’ll feel like you’ve climbed through the clouds. Unwind over a glass of Madeira wine, an historic fortified beverage that’s musky and subtly sweet.

What a perfect walk! Starting at the parking lot of rabacal. But instead of following the herd of people, we took the road to Alecrim. After some time the trail splits in half. Either you follow the levada do Alecrim, or you go way down to lagao do Vento. We´ve chosen the way down, and it was worth it! It´s a lot of stairs to go all the way down. But what you see is one of the most amazing places in Madeira. It is like a fantasy spot... The way back you can choose to go back up or take the path to the rabacal house.

We have visited the pools after the volcanic caves tour. Entrance fee to the pools is about 1.5 euros for an adult and 0.5 for children. It worth the visit to see the beautiful waves crashing onto the volcanic rocks forming natural ocean pools. The water during December was freezing and only few brave people went in. The kids though were fascinated of the black crabs climbing on the rocks. A very nice 2 hours to pass with kids even in the winter months.

The Seixal Natural Swimming Pools or Piscinas Naturais do Seixal, located near black sand Laje beach, in Madeira’s northern coast. Beautiful landscape and clear ocean water. These pools of volcanic origin are great examples of the magnificence of nature on the island of Madeira. Free entrance. Not manned by lifeguards.
