Last minute holidays to Canical

Check out the Madeira Whaling Museum

Back in the day, Canical was a working whaling town. You can read the whole story in the Madeira Whaling Museum, home to historical memorabilia, life-size model whales and a 3D cinema. Whales still migrate through Madeiran waters — hop on a whale watching trip to catch a glimpse of the ocean giants.

Hike the volcanic coast

The hotels in Canical are great bases for hikers. A number of trails trace the surrounding countryside, from dramatic coastal footpaths with Atlantic Ocean views to levada trails that dip and dive through ancient woodland.

Take a daytrip to Funchal

Island capital Funchal is just a 20-minute drive away from Canical. A 15th-century old town, mountain cable car and luxury marina are among its selling points.
