About Santana
A municipality with 95.56 km² of area and 7719 inhabitants (2011).
Santana is one of Madeira Islands most notable municipalities offering both breathtaking views and raw Madeiran culture. Owns its name from a chapel erected in honor of Santa Ana.
The parish was settled around 1550 and preserves several typical mainland "Minho" influences brought by the first settlers that came from Braga.
The “Casas de Santana” are typical adorable small colored houses whose roof are made of thatching straw and frequently visited by tourists.
This region, which comprises six parishes, lives essentially from agriculture, craftwork, tradition and tourism.
One of the best attractions to visit, is the Madeira Theme Park, constructed to exhibit examples of the island's history and culture, this includes exhibits on traditions, artifacts used in daily life and cultural presentations, in a scenic environment of the people of Madeira.
It is the ideal place to start your walks; you may choose Levada Walks or even higher up to Achada do Teixeira, where you can walk within 1 hour to Madeiras highest peak, the Pico Ruivo at 1861m.
