Description
Explore the traditional market of Madeira on a Sunday market tour. Visit the local market of Santo da Serra and the city of Santa Cruz and stop at the Cristo Rei viewpoint in Garajau.
Start your day with a visit to the typical market of Santo da Serra. Here, you can buy locally grown fruit and vegetables, flowers, crafts, souvenirs, and more. Try some delicious traditional snacks and drinks. Next to the traditional market, there is a gypsy market with a variety of products.
Nearby, visit a public park with a wide diversity of Madeiran flora and fauna species. The park is integrated into the manor house Quinta da Junta, which once belonged to the Blandy family.
Continue to the city of Santa Cruz. Take a walk along the promenade by the sea. In the historical part of the city and the parish church, find several little shops, cafes, and restaurants. Visit the São Salvador church, which deserves a visit due to its architectural interest.
