It is a small city surrounded by mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. All the monuments and places of interest from the tourist guides can be found in the historical part of the city. The first and foremost attraction is the Cable Car which takes you to the top of mountain Monte. The trip duration is 10 minutes, so you will have enough time to see all of the city, enjoy the view, and find out more places of interest. At the top, there is a palace and tropical garden with a unique plant collection from around the world.<br \/>\nOne way Cable Car ticket costs 11 euros.<br \/>\nEntrance to the garden &#8211; 10 euros.<\/p>\n<p>Interesting fact &#8211; The Cable Car works 364 days per year except for Christmas, but during my visit it was closed!<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s move forward. Do you like passion fruit?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_577\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-577\" style=\"width: 931px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-577\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u2a.jpg\" alt=\"Mercado Dos Lavradores - Famous Market in Funchal\" width=\"931\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u2a.jpg 931w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u2a-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u2a-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mercado Dos Lavradores &#8211; Famous Market in Funchal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If the answer is <em>yes<\/em>, that means I found the best place for you!<\/p>\n<p>Mercado Dos Lavradores used to be a food market for locals, but now it&#8217;s one of the biggest tourists attractions. There are grocery, flower, and fish sections inside the market. Here you can find fruits you&#8217;ve never tried before. More than five types of passion fruits!<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_578\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-578\" style=\"width: 621px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-578\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u3a.jpg\" alt=\"Different types of passion fruits in Mercado Dos Lavradores\" width=\"621\" height=\"931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u3a.jpg 621w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u3a-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-578\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Different types of passion fruits in Mercado Dos Lavradores<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_579\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-579\" style=\"width: 621px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-579\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u4a.jpg\" alt=\"Different types of passion fruits in Mercado Dos Lavradores\" width=\"621\" height=\"931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u4a.jpg 621w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u4a-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-579\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Different types of passion fruits in Mercado Dos Lavradores<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>English tomato &#8211; a hybrid of tomato and passion fruit with a sweet taste of banana passion fruit, passion fruit pineapple, lemon passion fruit, and other flavors.

But I do not recommend you to buy fruits on Mercado Dos Lavradores Market. Prices are far above market value. For example, most of the fruits cost more than 20 euros per kilo, while in the supermarket it will be around 10 euros.<\/p>\n<p>Few words about the flowers. I am the biggest fan of the protea flower, and this place was awe-inspiring for me &#8211; I have never seen so many of them in one spot! Due to climate, Madeira has excellent growing conditions for proteas and other exotic flowers as Strelitzia and Leucospermum.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_581\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-581\" style=\"width: 931px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-581\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u5a.jpg\" alt=\"Flower section in Mercado Dos Lavradores.

The main attraction is doors &#8211; all of them are painted with bright graffiti by different artists.<\/p>\n<h3>2. <strong>Watch the Sunrise on the Pico Arieiro<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_582\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-582\" style=\"width: 931px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-582\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u6a.jpg\" alt=\"Sunrise on Pico Arieiro viewpoint\" width=\"931\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u6a.jpg 931w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u6a-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u6a-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-582\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sunrise on Pico Arieiro viewpoint<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Pico Arieiro is the third highest peak of Madeira Island. If you want to enjoy the sunrise, you need to wake up early. The way from Funchal takes 40 minutes to get there by car + 10 minutes of walking to the viewport. You can be sure &#8211; it is worth it &#8211; 100 percent! If you have free time and lots of energy &#8211; walk to the highest peak Pico Ruivo (1,862m above sea level). Choose one of two walking passes and enjoy nature! One-way takes about 3 hours, and if you choose the round-trip, it will take 6-7 hours to cover the 12 km route.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Ponta De Sao Lorenzo One-Day Walk<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_583\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-583\" style=\"width: 931px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-583\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u7a.jpg\" alt=\"Ponta De Sao Lorenzo view from a plane window\" width=\"931\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u7a.jpg 931w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u7a-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u7a-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-583\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ponta De Sao Lorenzo view from a plane window<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The easternmost point of the island will be your last memory of Madeira &#8211; you will see it during your flight! But before taking the plane, I advise you to come for one day. After a 12 km walk, you won\u2019t have enough energy and desire to go anywhere else. So, choose the day and make your way to the nature reserve. It used to be closed for tourists some years ago, but now you can easily take a walk through the Martian landscape.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_584\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-584\" style=\"width: 931px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-584\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u8a.jpg\" alt=\"The easternmost point of the Madeira island\" width=\"931\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u8a.jpg 931w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u8a-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u8a-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 931px) 100vw, 931px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-584\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The easternmost point of the Madeira island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Seems like another planet!<\/p>\n<h3>4. Drink Traditional Cocktails in a Bar for Locals<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_585\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-585\" style=\"width: 284px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-585\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u9a.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional Nikita cocktail\" width=\"284\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u9a.jpg 515w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u9a-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 284px) 100vw, 284px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-585\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traditional Nikita cocktail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The best way to understand the culture is to find a place where locals spend time after work. On Madeira Island, there are many bars for football fans. Maybe the reason is the fact Cristiano Ronaldo was born in Madeira. I am not sure, but locals are addicted to this sport!<\/p>\n<p>So, meet some locals, choose a small bar, and drink the traditional cocktail.<br \/>\nThere are two types: the more strong Poncha, and the lighter one Nikita.<br \/>\nPoncha is made from rum, lemon and orange juice, and honey. Too sweet and too strong as for me.<\/p>\n<p>Nikita &#8211; really strange milkshake cocktail which was named after a song of Elton John. Ingredients sound crazy &#8211; pineapple juice, vanilla ice cream, beer, white wine, and a slice of pineapple. Believe me; it tastes better than anything you can imagine!<\/p>\n<h3>5. Swim in the Natural Pools of Porto Moniz<\/h3>\n<p>Madeira is not the best choice for a beach vacation. Nevertheless, you can find some unique places to swim in the ocean. Pools are made by lava so you can see black lava rocks around.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_586\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-586\" style=\"width: 902px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-586\" src=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u10a.jpg\" alt=\"Natural lava pools Piscinas Naturais\" width=\"902\" height=\"602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u10a.jpg 902w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u10a-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/u10a-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-586\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Natural lava pools Piscinas Naturais<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This place is named Piscinas Naturais. Entrance fee is 1.50 euros. There is a snack bar on the territory, lockers, shower, and toilets &#8211; everything you need during your stay. This place is open till 7 pm, and after they close, you can enter free. When closed, you can swim and watch the sunset almost alone! All tourists interested in sunbathing leave this place quickly, so you have a chance to spend the evening in silent beauty.<\/p>\n<p>There are more places to see in Madeira, so keep in touch.<br \/>\nFollow the blog updates!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Romanna<\/p>\n<p>Previous post:\u00a0<a title=\"Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean \u2013 Madeira Island\" href=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/somewhere-in-the-atlantic-ocean-madeira-island\/\">Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean \u2013 Madeira Island<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next post:\u00a0<a title=\"My Best Destination \u2013 Madeira Island\" href=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/my-best-destination-madeira-island\/\">My Best Destination \u2013 Madeira Island<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><a title=\"Romanna\u2019s Upcoming Eight Destinations in Europe for only $815\" href=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/romannas-eight-destinations-for-her-skysurf-travel-job-to-europe-for-815\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Romanna\u2019s trip to eight cities (five islands) in Europe<\/a>\u00a0cost a total of $815 (flights only).\u00a0 To build your own cheap multicity itinerary, visit\u00a0<a title=\"SkySurf.Travel - multicity flight itinerary builder\" href=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SkySurf.Travel<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>View more photos of\u00a0<a title=\"Romanna's European SkySurf.Travel adventure on Instagram\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/skysurftravel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Romanna\u2019s European SkySurf.Travel adventure on Instagram<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>To read more of\u00a0<a title=\"Romanna's SkySurf.Travel adventure blogs\" href=\"https:\/\/skysurf.travel\/blog\/tag\/romanna-skysurf-travel-adventure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Romanna\u2019s SkySurf.Travel adventure blogs, click here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a\u00a0series of blog entries\u00a0from\u00a0SkySurf.Travel\u2019s first travel hiree, Romanna.
