Porto da Cruz, Portugal, is located at the northeast coast of Madeira. The archipelago is a very attractive tourist destination all year round. Madeira is situated around five hundred kilometres from the Portuguese mainland. The biggest attraction of Porto da Cruz is the beautiful nature and the surf. It is a well-known surf spot and offers some delicious local wine, as well. Only around two thousand five hundred people permanently live in the civil parish, which was originally founded in the sixteenth century. Getting there is easy -- you can take a bus service or rent a car in Funchal.

Most accommodations such as guesthouses and hostels in Porto da Cruz, Portugal, are comparatively small and cosy. You won't find large hotels or hostel chains.

Water sports are very attractive in the area. Surfing and swimming are popular among tourists and locals. A local surf school offers courses for beginners. If you do not want to surf on your own, it is also good fun to watch the local surfers catch some waves. The village is also renowned for its wine. Check out the vinho seco americano (in English, dry red wine), which is made of a type of grape called americana. In September, you can also attend the so-called festa de vinho, a wine festival to celebrate this delicious local product. History lovers should walk up to Fortim do Porto da Cruz, the scenic ruins of a fort built in the eighteenth century. The small museum Museu Engenho Velho mainly displays a collection of antique tools and machinery, which were used on the island to produce wine and other goods.
