Santana is a beautiful village on the north coast of Madeira, characterised by its small thatched triangular houses. These small houses built of natural stone and thatched with straw have served the locals for centuries as stables and dwellings.

This region lives essentially from agriculture, craftwork and tradition. The mountainous landscapes are dominated by the lush green that characterises the Laurissilva Forest, which was classified a ‘World Heritage’ site by the UNESCO, encouraging the locals to do even more to maintain their beauty.

With so many attractions to see, it is normal that most tourists have a circle on their maps around Santana as an obligatory place to visit, yet, with Madeira’s Theme Park another attraction was added things this region has to offer!

Opened in October 2004, the Madeira Theme Park, which can be visited all year round, is divided into several areas and includes many attractions for young and old – tourists as well as locals – relating to history, traditions and culture of the people of Madeira.

Every year in July a large festival of traditional music and dance is held in the village and attracts large crowds of locals and tourists. The event known as ’24 horas a bailar’ (literally ‘24 hours dancing’) contains performances by traditional folklore groups from Madeira and other regions or countries who are invited to participate.
