One of the most popular tourist attractions in the municipality is the Jardim do Mar, a coastal village known for its black sand beaches and natural pools. The village is also home to a number of restaurants and cafes that offer local seafood and other traditional dishes.
According to the latest data from the Portuguese National Institute of Statistics, the municipality of Santana has a population of around 10,000 people. The municipality is located northwest of the island of Madeira, which is an autonomous region of Portugal located in the Atlantic Ocean.
The municipality has a long history dating back to the 15th century when Madeira was first colonized by the Portuguese. The island’s mild climate and fertile soil made it an attractive place for agriculture, and Santana became known for its production of sugar cane, tobacco, and other crops. Today, the municipality is still an important agricultural center, with a number of small farms and vineyards that produce Madeira wine, a fortified wine that is named after the island.
