Next: Porto Moniz Prev: Cabo Girao
Sao Vicente is a extremely picturesque town on the north side of the island.
I arrived here late at night after missing my bus, and was very thankful to find one single restaurant still open for dinner.
I didn’t actually plan on doing anything here - it was more of a transfer point to other towns I wanted to visit on the north side. Madeira has a valley that runs through the center from north to south, and Sao Vicente is right at the north side of that valley.
After getting lost trying to find my guesthouse in the dark - before realizing it was on top of the huge cliff, not below it.
I had a quick night and was up early to get the bus to Porto Moniz.
