What to do and see in Madeira, Madeira Islands: The Best Churches & Cathedrals
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.

A small church with it's bell ding-a-linging all day. The church is in a pleasant location down at the sea-water edge. Inside it has a stunning painted ceiling and walls. Really worth a visit . A lovely well tended graveyard, next door is a picture. Next to the graveyard is a very large out-door swimming pool with a bar/coffee etc.

Igreja do Socorro is a church with breathtaking architecture and a beautiful position on top of a hill overlooking the sea. Just a 5 minute walk from Funchal, it is quiet, peaceful and a very reflective space. Well worth a visit.

If you visit this little town near the capital with his nice walking street, with the hanging shirts upon the street, you need attention to find this chapel. But you have to fond it!
