First called Quinta das Angústias, it used to be rented to aristocrats and is now the headquarters of the modern Regional Government of Madeira.

When it comes to drinks hailing from the island, Madeira was missing a gin. But now there is one and it even has a slight taste of sugarcane.

The city’s rhythm can be experienced in the historic street Rua Dr. Fernão de Ornelas, built back in the 1940s.
