Santana, a charming municipality on the north coast of Madeira, is famous for its iconic triangular-shaped houses with thatched roofs, known as 'casinhas de Santana.' This picturesque town, declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. The landscapes are beautiful, including the Laurissilva Forest and the towering Pico Ruivo, Santana is a must-visit destination for those seeking an authentic Madeiran experience.
