This cathedral is really worth a visit. dates from the 16th century - 1507. Manuelino and gothic styles can be found also.
Take a look to the ceiling, it's painted carved wood.

The stone beach of Santa Cruz is not so amazing, but the new bars and gradens around the coast makes this beach really special. Enjoy!

Like in Rio de Janeiro santa Cruz has also the statue of the "Cristo Redentor" or Jesus.
It's near the protected area of Garajau. The view are simply fantastic by the sea.

Favorite thing: If we compare Santa Cruz with other regions of the Madeira, we notice that much vegetation does not exist. It is one of the regions most barren of the island. It was here that the first sea reserve of the island was born, Garajau.

Camacha is a beautiful small village a few kilometres east of Funchal and also famous for its apple festival and very active folklore dance troops. They call this the village of basket makers. Well,...
We have only been a very short while in Santa Cruz, during our eastern island tour. The boats on the beach were lovely. Furthermore there was not so much to see.
