From the bike station in Funchal, we cycle along the Estrada Monumental (hotel district) to Câmara de Lobos, passing various historical and scenic highlights. In Câmara de Lobos, the island’s fishing village and home of the espada fishermen with their special deep-sea fishing equipment, we visit the boatyard and take a break in the picturesque alleys of the old town.
From Câmara de Lobos, we follow the regional road towards Funchal harbour, ride along the port road and continue into the old town of Santa Maria Maior. From there, we climb up the old regional road “Rua Conde do Carvalhal” to Cancela.
At the “Miradouro das Neves” viewpoint, we enjoy the impressive view over Funchal’s bay and then continue on to Garajau. At the Cristo Rei statue in Garajau, which stands on a headland similar to the famous statue in Rio de Janeiro, we can take the cable car down to the beach and have an extended break there.
The final section then follows old regional roads back down into the city of Funchal.
