solopes Says: I will not forget - June 23rd in Portugal is to be lived in Porto or Braga, in Madeira in Ribeira Brava. The advantage is that, in Madeira, the festivities last longer, and we could attend it on the 29th, that, in the continent is reserved to St Peter. Somewhat confusing,...
solopes Says: Beach is not the main thing in Madeira - they are few, small, and without sand. Ribeira Brava is no exception, but is was the larger and better pebble beach that I saw in Madeira.

salinhopt Says: Brava Mar it's quite a small hoel with a nice view all over the village of Ribeira Brava and it's bay. The ocean view is fabulous. During this summer i don't recomend Ribeira Brava since the village is under restoring.
ghislain69 Says: Hidden in a narrow lane off the road to Ponto do Pargo on the far western tip of the island, these small detached bungalows are ideal for anyone in need of peace and seclusion. Each of the four bungalows is set apart from the others within the terraced gardens and has a...
ghislain69 Says: Tucked into the base of a lush valley, just a five-minute drive west from the pleasant little town of Ribeira Brava, Ponta do Sol is not just one of Madeira's most charming villages, but also – according to local legend – the island's sunniest spot, hence its name, which...
It was not easy to find a restaurant in Ribeira Brava for a quick meal. We ended in this esplanade, where, in the eve, we had a drink.
Well, it was not a quick lunch, but the food was good at a normal price

We had nice moments in Ribeira Brava, at night, joining st John's festivities. So good that we went there twice. Of course, the nights in common days must be different but, we must search for the opportunities, and there are many saints to celebrate.

salinhopt Says: Its name derives from the construction of a primitive device destined to the cut of wood, name that, later extended to all the parish. The parish of Serra d'Agua, is situated in a extensive, deep and pressed valley, encircled by high mountains. The scenary is impressive as...
salinhopt Says: Going up the Street of the Visconde and for the street of S.º Francisco you'll find the old House and chapel of S.º Jose. The building of the current Museum was housing of Captain Luis Goncalves Da Silva. Years later the old house was converted into an industrial unit, with...
salinhopt Says: Situated between a valley, Ribeira Brava has a magnificent viewpoint or miradouro, from where you can observe all the extension of the village, as well as the maritime coast, getting of this place magnificent landscapes.
Favorite thing: When I visited Ribeira Brava, it has been severily hit by severe flooding, but it was completely recovered - only in the beach the signs of the dragged rocks and garbagge were still present. Your visit will not be disturbed.
