PORTO SANTO
|
| |
| |
In stark contrast to Madeira’s green hues, sandy tones colour the landscape of Porto Santo. Just two and a half hours away by boat, or fifteen minutes by plane, from Madeira Island, it is worth visiting this little piece of paradise that welcomed Christopher Columbus in the 16th century. Taking it easy, relaxing and swimming or diving in the clear blue sea are the best things to do in the island shaped paradise.
But the 9 kilometer golden beach with its therapeutically rich sand is not all that Porto Santo has to offer its visitors. There is a Thalassotherapy centre, a golf course, tennis, horse riding, a submarine activity centre, a marina, and a beach sports stadium. There are also many relaxing walks, such as the amazing Terra Chã route.
