Caniçal -

Warst du jemals in Caniçal?

Caniçal is a little fishing village with a rich religious tradition and it is also the oldest parish of Madeira Island.

On the third weekend of September fishermen go out to the sea in a procession of Nossa Senhora da Piedade, which is happening at the same time as the famous ‘Festa de Nossa Senhora da Piedade’ (Fair of Our Lady of Mercy).

On the Saturday of this ‘festa’ colourfully decorated boats sail around in the bay of Caniçal, while the contest of choosing the boat that is going to carry the patron saint is taking place.
Then the elected fishing boat anchors at the harbour, fishermen climb to the top of the hill, where the chapel is located and the patron saint is brought down into the boat. There is another procession on the following Sunday when the patron saint is returned to the chapel.

Apart from its sandy beach, this feast is the major attraction of Caniçal, and it is quite an outstanding celebration.

"This was wonderful. The team was on time and had the materials. Our guide was great and very aware of our safety! He helped us in and out of the kayaks in the waves. Would recommend ! We even got to go in some small caves. "

"I recently completed a vintage car tour in Porto. The driver was charming and the experience was enjoyed by all. However, I do have a bit of a problem with the booking company, Experitour. After I made the booking online, nobody ever reached out to me to confirm the upcoming event. Usually, a day or two before such a tour, somebody will send an e-mail stating that the tour is going to occur soon and to review the meeting place and time. I would expect Experitour to do that since they were the company that received my online booking information. When I eventually contacted the Vintage Car Tour company, they initially had no record of my reservation. They were eventually able to find it, but I had to remind them that I went through Experitour. Not sure whose fault that was. These are minor details, but they prevent me from providing a 5-star review."

"Received fantastic service from experitour, always in contact with me. Unfortunately the tour was cancelled because of the Babet and Alina storms. Not their fault. Will certainly be rebooking with them next year hopefully will see the famous flamingoes. "
