There, where no time has passed...

There are always those places where it seems that no time has passed, that you've forgotten to bring back to here and now. Porto Santo has plenty of those places. On your next holiday, when you're thinking of relaxation, hop on the ferry boat that leaves Funchal every day, while the day begins and "Mercado dos Lavradores" is still lurking in the city centre.

The experience of the journey begins on board Porto Santo Line's ship. Enjoy the unmistakable outline of Madeira island, from Pico do Arieiro to Ponta de São Lourenço, catch a glimpse of Santana in the background, on the northern sea, high up on the hillside, and begin to realise, on the horizon, the charm of an island lost in time, where it seems that the clock has stopped, the leaves of the calendar have not fallen and every year Christopher Columbus disembarks in September at a festival that recreates his arrival.
