Top Attractions in Santana
💡 Arrive late afternoon to catch the light streaming through the coloured windows onto the altar; it's quietest around 16:00 on weekdays.
💡 Check their Facebook page before visiting — they often host free embroidery workshops on Saturday afternoons, where you can try the traditional Madeiran 'corridinho' stitch with locals.
💡 Ask the caretaker to show you the old levada (irrigation channel) behind the house — it's not signposted but gives a sense of the original water system.
💡 Walk the short trail to the left of the viewpoint — it leads to a less crowded spot with a better angle for photos of the coastline. Bring a windproof jacket even in summer.
💡 Head straight to Levada do Baldio trail — it's less busy than the main path and ends at a lovely natural pool where locals dip in summer. No entrance fee, but parking costs €2 after 10am.
