Scenic inland roads of Madeira

You haven’t experienced Madeira to the fullest unless you drove at least a couple of the inland routes. The mountain roads in Madeira are like nowhere else and you truly have to see it to believe it. Here are some of our favourite roads (I also indicated them on the map), but I think you can try just any of them and you’ll see what it’s all about (it’s not always about the scenery as much as it is about the experience).

• The above mentioned scenic road between the Eira do Serrado and Pico do Areeiro
• Caminho de Cales e Chada between Calheta and Rabacal
• Estrada da Eira do Serrado between Funchal and the Nun’s Valley
• The shortest road between Santana and Ribeiro Frio
• The coastal drive between Santana and Sao Vicente
• Any road above Funchal (Monte area)
