Santana

visit the typical “Casa de Colmo”

Our bike tour starts in Guindaste (Faial) with a great view to the northeast coast. It goes uphill on the road to Santana. From here we ride through fields until we reach the Levada das Queimadas. We continue through the laurel forest to the center of Santana. Here we make a stop at the traditional small houses, the "Casa de Colmo". A final challenge is the descent down to the sea, over the old route, which connected all the villages on Madeira.
