Faja da Ovelha holidays
On the west coast of Madeira, just 6km from Prazeres, lies a little village called Faja da Ovelha. High in the hills and boasting stunning scenes across countryside and shoreline, this is a peaceful plot for a sunshine getaway. If go-slow vibes are your thing, this is your resort.
A charming church
Okay we said village, but really, we’re talking more of a hamlet here. The amenities and attractions are limited but the 18th-century church is an absolute must-see. The wonderful whitewashed exterior is truly beautiful, while the views that surround are nothing short of magical.
Funchal here we come
Just 50km away from Faja da Ovelha is Madeira’s capital, Funchal. It’s all going on in this culture-packed city, with terracotta-topped houses, gorgeous gardens, historic marvels and even a cable car! The Old Town, museums, churches and shopping options are all you could wish for and more.
