Country Market and Park in Santo da Serra

Join us on an excursion filled with unique experiences. We start with a stop in Santa Cruz to visit the local market, followed by a relaxing walk along the seaside promenade, where you can enjoy the refreshing sea breeze.

We continue our journey to the picturesque parish of Santo António da Serra, where you will have the opportunity to explore the gardens and park of Quinta do Santo da Serra. This 19th-century haven, with its impressive 20,000 square meters, captivates not only with its rich history but also with its diverse collection of exotic and native flora, offering a glimpse into Madeira's botanical paradise.

The Santo da Serra agricultural market represents another major attraction of this trip. Immersed in the hustle and bustle of voices and colours, you will have the opportunity to experience an authentic local tradition and discover a variety of local products and island delicacies, including the famous 'bolo do caco' bread, homemade cakes, and typical drinks such as local cider and poncha.

On our return to Funchal, we will make a final stop at the Ponta do Garajau viewpoint. Here, the majestic statue of “Cristo Rei” provides a breathtaking view over the ocean and cliffs, marking the perfect end to our trip.
