Machico

Machico is the second biggest city in Madeira Island. It has 67.73 km² and 21,321 inhabitants (2004), divided into 5 districts. The municipality is bordered to the south by the municipality of Santa Cruz on the west by Santana and by the Atlantic Ocean on the north and east. Here you can find pedestrian tracks throughout the mountains, lovely beaches, and good restaurants. Every year in the first week of August take place a big food festival. There you can taste various traditional dishes from Madeira. Also some music shows are offered and after closing you can always go to one of the clubs opened all night long.

We saw a land covered in trees until the sea and from that band the fog never descended from the range...We saw a great bay...

The economy is focused on agriculture, tourism, and fishing, although a small number of businesses and commercial establishments have concentrated in the centre of town. The main harbour is a mixture of personal and public uses, that includes a lighted promenade, scenic landscapes of the town, as well as a small harbour that is used as a fishing port and public harbour (usually filled with yachts).
