Introduction 1 MACARONESIA The name originates from Greek and means “blessed islands” or “fortunate islands”, a term used by the ancient geographers for the islands west of the Strait of Gibraltar. The bio geographical area of Macaronesia includes the Savage Islands and the archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores, the Canaries and Cape Verde. It also includes the so called “African macaronesian enclave” located between the archipelago of the Canaries and Cape Verde. All these areas share many biological characteristics with communities of plants and animals which are unique.

LAURISILVA (Laurel Forest) is the name given to a type of humid, sub tropical forest endemic to Macaronesia, composed mainly of trees from the Lauraceae family namely the laurel, mahogany, the Madeira Laurel and the Canary Laurel. The word Laurisilva is derived from Latin Laurus (laurel, lauraceae) and Silva (forest, wood). It is one of the world habitats with the greatest diversity of plants per km². The Autonomous Region of Madeira still has the biggest and best preserved patch of Laurisilva forest in the bio geographical area of Macaronesia. Approximately 35 640 ha., of regional forest, it is considered that 15 000 ha are of natural forest that constitute the Laurisilva forest. It is a Biogenetic Reserve of the Council of Europe since 1992. It was distinguished in 1999 by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage Site, the only of its kind at present in Portugal. Approximately 90% of the classified Laurisilva forest is located in these municipalities.

4 Characterization of the Municipalities

Municipality of Porto Moniz Municipal Holiday: 22 of July Parishes: Achadas da Cruz, Porto Moniz, Ribeira da Janela and Seixal. Its first settlement must have taken place in the third quarter of the 15th Century. Initially Porto Moniz was part of the Machico municipality. On the 31st October 1835, during the reign of D. Maria II, Porto Moniz was elevated to a Municipality. ItÂ´s name is associated with one of the oldest settlers, Francisco Moniz, of noble blood and a native of the Algarve, who took residence around the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da ConceiĂ§ĂŁo. The settlement, there dedicated itself to livestock raising, cereal plantation and the extraction of wood. Around the 18th Century the main activity became viniculture, followed by potatoes which in the 19th Century constituted the production base and staple diet. Currently the municipality of Porto Moniz has a much more diversified economy especially the tourism sector and the area of restaurants and hotels.

Municipality of S. Vicente Municipal Holiday: 25th of August (anniversary of the creation of the village) Parishes: S達o Vicente, Ponta Delgada and Boaventura. It is one of the largest municipalities of the Autonomous Region of Madeira. About 68% of its territory is covered by forest. The first locations to be exploited could have been: S達o Vicente and Ponta Delgada, probably in the mid 15th Century. The municipality of S達o Vicente was elevated to village and centre of municipal headquarters on the 25th August 1774, resulting from the division of the port authority of Machico. According to legend the name S達o Vicente originated from the saint appearing in a cave at the mouth of the stream where a chapel was built in his honor. Farming, livestock production in the area of poultry, pigs and goats are the main highlight of the primary sector. The furniture industry, cement production, bread making and the extraction of aggregates and sands constitute the secondary sector. All activities linked to small trade and hotel and catering services, rural tourism and restaurants predominate in the tertiary sector.

Municipality of Santana Municipal Holiday: 25th of May Parishes: São Roque do Faial, Faial, Santana, Ilha, São Jorge and Arco de São Jorge. About one third of the Municipality is covered by Laurisilva forest. The municipality of Santana was created in1832. The parish of Santana, created on the 2nd of June 1564, is currently the centre of the municipality. It have been elevated to a city on the 1st of January 2001. Up until 1862 the municipality was constituted by six parishes: Porto da Cruz (1577), São Roque do Faial (1848), Faial (1550), Santana (1564), São Jorge (1515) and Arco de São Jorge (1676).From 1852, Porto da Cruz, became part of Machico. In 1989 was officially given parish status to Ilha. Farming has been the basis of economic activity occupying 60% of the working population in the municipality. The industries of fruit cultivation and horticulture have the greater levels of investments. Currently trade and provision of services in the Hotel and Catering industry are also important. Santana was the birth place of one of the main Portuguese writers, Baltazar Dias, a playwright from the 16th Century

Geological formation of the archipelago The archipelago of Madeira comprises the islands of Madeira, Porto Santo, Selvagens and Desertas, it is of volcanic origin and is located in the Atlantic Ocean. The group formed by Madeira, Desertas and Porto Santo originated from a hot â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plumeâ&#x20AC;?, which started in the Upper Mantle. In the case of Madeira, this kind of volcanism is located in the interior of the African Plate. The Island of Madeira is divided in two great massifs: - The Central Volcanic Massif, which occupies the central region of the island. It is crossed by a dense network of veins oriented in all directions, there being a certain convergence in the area of Pico Ruivo, which constitute the morphology of the main streams.

- The Volcanic Massif of Paul da Serra corresponds to a structural platform maintained by basaltic spills, slightly SW sloping.The first drain offs were more extensive occupying the total plateau surface even descending along valleys existing at the time and reaching the sea.They are confined to the valleys of streams such as S.Vicente, Seixal and Porto Moniz. The North facing coastal areas as a group are steeper, higher and more continuous, than the South. Around Madeira limestone reefs were formed, being known at present on the island the outbreak of limestone reef of S.Vicente.

MUSEUM CENTRE – THE LIME ROUTE This private Museum Centre is located at Sítio dos Lameiros, Municipality of São Vicente. Its cultural, educational and touristic side seeks to value and promote the natural and built heritage. The limestone outbreak of Barrinho is one of the occurrences of this type of geology in the Island of Madeira which is currently known. This centre covers an approximate area of 12 000m2 where there are two limestone quarries, a lime oven (which was working until the 1960´s) and other property to support farming production namely haystacks, terraces and water canals (levadas). The first historical references to the production of lime in São Vicente dates back to the 17th Century. It is classified since 2005 as a Group of Public Regional Interest.

CAVES AND VOLCANISM CENTRE Sítio do Pé do Passo, São Vicente www.grutasecentrodovulcanismo.com

These are located on the cliff opposite the São Vicente stream, at the bottom of the valley, where the Island started to form. The caves were formed from a volcanic eruption, 890 thousand years ago, at Paul da Serra which then descended to the sea.The outer part of the lava was exposed to lower temperatures which rapidly solidified, while inside it was still running with many gases forming a series of lava tubes which form this complex. These groups of eight “volcanic tunnels” display a total development of over 1000 meters long, whose maximum height varies between 5 to 6 meters. It is the biggest known in the Island of Madeira. The Volcanism Centre combines “Culture and Knowledge”, in a pavilion that allows its visitors to witness the recreation of the geological evolution of the caves and the simulation of the birth of the Archipelago of Madeira. 2

PICO DAS PEDRAS FOREST PARK QUEIMADAS FOREST PARK The Pico das Pedras Forest Park is located 5 km from Santana. In this place lies the Information Center of the Natural Forest Island - Laurisilva. Hence, we can leave for several walking tours to access the Queimadas Forest Park, led by the Caldeir達o Verde water canal. The Queimadas Forest Park is a secluded location, 20 min walk from Pico das Pedras Forest Park, situated 900 meters high. We find here the shelter of Queimadas, a construction with a straw covered roof, aiming to Rangers, who still retains the original features of the old houses of Santana. Located on the outskirts of the Laurisilva, in these parks, may be observed the forest flora native of Madeira. It can be observed also some of the characteristic birds of the island.

Achada do Teixeira - Pico Ruivo Distance: 2.8 km (+2.8 km return) Duration: 1.5h Maximum Altitude: 1862m Minimum Altitude: 1535m Start: Achada do Teixeira End: Achada do Teixeira

This trail rises up to Pico Ruivo. Close to the shelter house of Pico Ruivo it accesses 3 other trails: Vereda da Ilha, Vereda do Pico Areeiro and Vereda da Encumeada.

This area integrates the European network of sites of community importance, Rede Natura 2000, with the name of central mountainous massif, encompassing the highest peaks and heights of 1200 m altitude. The trail rises along the “saddle” which separates the slopes of Faial from those of Santana. It provides on the left side magnificent landscape views over the valley of Ribeira Seca and on the right side to Santana mountain.

PICO RUIVO It is situated in the parish of Ilha in the municipality of Santana. With its 1862 m of altitude, it is the third highest mountain in Portugal and the highest in the archipelago of Madeira, the rock is an important element of the landscape. It displays two main types of plant coverage: formation of heather moorland and vegetation dominated by herbaceous plants.

ACHADA DO TEIXEIRA This place, located in Santana, in days of good visibility has a panoramic view over the whole Municipality. There is a curious basaltic rock formation which is found after passing the shelter house, called “Homem em pé” (Man standing up).

Hydric resources of the Madeira Island The subterranean hydric resources in Madeira are the main source of supply, an Island with 267 785 inhabitants (census 2011). The catchment is obtained through galleries, tunnels, boreholes and the use of springs. It is recharged mainly in the higher and flatter areas of the Island, the latter benefitting from the water originated by the fog retained in the vegetation. The annual volume of subterranean resources consumed in public supply, industry, watering and energy production is 185 000 000 m3.

Streams

The streams are natural aqueducts that generally run in the beds of deep and tight valleys that flow plentifully in Winter.They spring from the slopes of the central range and flow to the ocean. The main streams existing in these municipalities are: Ribeira dos Moinhos: springs from serra da Boaventura. Ribeira do Tristão: springs at Pico da Pedreira. Ribeira da Janela: originates at Paúl da Serra, Fontes do Rabaçal and Assobiadouro. It is one of the longest and fastest flowing of the Island. Ribeira do Seixal: springs from Pico do Assobiadouro.

WATER CANALS (Levadas) The network of levadas is an amazing example of Man´s intervention in Nature. The levadas originated due to the need to bring water from the northern facing slopes, where it is abundant to the Southern part of the Island, where the majority of plantations have always been situated. The levadas started to be built in the 16th Century. The most recent date from the 1940´s. These channels have, in Madeira, a length of over 1 400 km. They are included in a group of protected areas, of which the highlights are the Natural Park of Madeira and the Ecological Park of Funchal. Some of the existing routes in the municipalities: PR – Small Routes Exisitng Pedestrian Paths in the Autonomous Region of Madeira, officially approved by the SRA - Secretaria Regional do Ambiente e Recursos Naturais.

Brief historical summary of the settlement of the archipelago First villages and primitive constructions The archipelago started to be settled in 1420. It was divided into three port authorities with the nomination of the respective captain donee: The Island of Madeira was divided into two, an East/West dividing line was fixed between Ponta de Oliveira (Caniço) and terminating at Ponta do Tristão (Porto Moniz). The third is the island of Porto Santo. Port authority of Machico: Tristão Vaz Teixeira (1440) The current municipalities of Porto Moniz, São Vicente and Santana were part of this authority. Port Authority of Funchal: João Gonçalves Zarco (1450) Port Authority of Porto Santo: Bartolomeu Perestrelo (1446) The greatest difficulty was the abundant tree coverage which occupied the entire surface of the land. The settlers helped by the mild climate and fertile soil dedicated themselves to the construction of their own dwellings and the establishment of small villages called “populated plantations” where many chapels were built which were then transformed into “curates” and “chaplaincies” that became the future parishes which were officially constituted. The primitive constructions took advantage of the plentiful supply of wood as a raw material and thatch (wheat straw) obtained from the plantation of cereals and enabled man to resort to these means to build dwellings.

The settlement of the Island of Madeira had its greatest development in the second half of the 15th Century and the first half of the following century as a result of the increase in farming and the industries that derived from it, such as the production of sugar, wine as well as the export of wood.

Civil Heritage 25 TERRACES (Poios) Poios are the local name for terraces that are excavated on slopes these are usually supported by basaltic stone walls or buttresses of volcanic origin to contain land movement. With the construction of small terraces in arable land past generations built one of the most beautifully human engineered landscapes defeating the islandÂ´s difficult terrain. These are the richest pieces of cultural heritage of Madeira, the intervention of Man in Nature. It displays persistence in the conquest of land for farming that ensures the production of sustenance for its inhabitants. 26 Regional Road (ER) 101 With the need to ensure road access between the parishes of the municipalities some of the most impressive roads were built that were carved on the steepest and most towering limestone slopes of this coast, meandering and traversing deep streams and crossing in â&#x20AC;&#x153;furadosâ&#x20AC;? where the stone itself is its firm support. It constitutes a strong legacy of the great effort by these people in the conquest of their own territory. 26

28 Some of the existing buildings and places of interest in the municipalities: 28 Calhau das Achadas, Porto Moniz A fajã is a small area of flat fertile land caused by the collapse of cliffs. The fajã das Achadas da Cruz, or Calhau das Achadas, is a fajã that built up over time as a result of the various coastal landslides. To support agricultural activity which is developed in the “calhau”, small agricultural warehouses were built and vats for the production of wine. All these works were done using only the paths that provide pedestrian access to Calhau. Later the transportation wire was built that allowed the transport of materials. In 2004the cable car was inaugurated which permitted the transport of people. Here it is possible to go on a walk with 29 Chão da Ribeira, Seixal This site holds one of the best kept clusters of the so called ‘Palheiros’, which were used as small store rooms to support farming and as shelter for the breeding of animals. Currently these constructions are essentially used as weekend getaways. Through the valley slopes stretches one of the best preserved patches of Laurisilva. Taking advantage of the abundant water all year round in ribeira do Seixal, there is a trout farm that can be visited all year round.

30 RUINS of Calhau de São Jorge It was at this place that the parish of São Jorge was created and it served as a military defense and entrance and exit of merchandise, having been the most important commercial hub in the North of Madeira Island. The settlement of the Parish of São Jorge happened in 1425. We can still find the ruins of the original Parish center where namely sugar cane devices were built at the start of the settlement.

Potato cultivation occurs in the Island of Madeira up to a height of 700 meters. It is used in preparation of homemade bread and jams and is consumed cooked or baked as a side dish. YAM - The first species was probably introduced in 1640. This plant was already used by the peoples of Egypt and Old Greece. Its harvest, since plantation could take up to two years and it is generally harvested between March and April. It is usually planted in wet and humid places. CABBAGE - It is supposed to originate from sea rocks of England and the French Channel Coast. Cabbage can be cooked, sliced in small pieces and used in the preparation of soups.
