Calheta Beach and Promenade

Highlight • Beach

Here you can find the best and most natural rum on the island, not so crowded with tourists and the prices for all rum are not as expensive as in Porto da Cruz.

February 16, 2025,Madeira Tag 3 - Wanderung vom Hotel Quinta Alegre zum Strand von Calheta

Some sections are very steep on asphalt roads, so plan on about 90 minutes for the return journey on foot. Taxi transfer to the hotel is available for €10.
