## What is Visit Porto Santo?

Visit Porto Santo is the independent guide to Porto Santo, the golden island of the Madeira archipelago. Nothing is invented: every place, date, price and figure comes from an official or documented source.

WHAT YOU GET
• Map — a satellite map of the whole island with 66 real places: 11 beaches and coves, the three official PS PR trails with their exact GPS tracks, viewpoints, peaks, nature sites, museums and churches, plus restaurants, hotels and services in their own filters. Tap a place for its sheet: description, opening hours and prices when published, directions and share.
• Beaches — the 9 km beach from Penedo to Calheta, the Blue Flag stretches of 2026, the lifeguard season, the sand's origin and the psammotherapy tradition.
• Trails — PS PR1 Pico Branco / Terra Chã, PS PR2 Pico do Castelo and PS PR3 Levada do Pico do Castelo: distance, elevation, duration, official status, the 2026 booking and fee rules on SIMplifica.
• Peaks & viewpoints — Pico do Facho, Pico de Ana Ferreira and the basalt columns, Portela, Terra Chã and the other miradouros.
• Culture & history — Vila Baleira, Casa Colombo, the 15th-century town, the windmills, 34 dated historical facts and 17 facts on living culture.
• Gastronomy — 13 specialities explained (bolo do caco, lapas, poncha, Listrão and Caracol wines, escarpiada, gaiado…) and the restaurants and bars of the island with their Instagram or website when known.
• Nature — the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the islets, Fonte da Areia, the geosites and endemic species.
• Ocean — 24 facts on the sea, the wrecks (Madeirense, General Pereira d'Eça), the marine reserve and its rules.
• Activities — 18 kinds of activity, from kayak and diving to golf, horse riding, karting and tennis, with their main spot on the map.
• Itineraries — 20 day-by-day plans for 1, 2, 3 or 5 days and five travel styles (hiker, relaxation, adventure, family, discovery), each stop linked to a real place, with transport times and the operators' own pages for timetables and booking.
• Events — the island's calendar: Columbus Festival, festivals, sport, tradition.
• LIVE — 5 public webcams (360° panoramas from the peaks, the beach, Portela, the north), each opening on its operator's page.
• Weather — current conditions, 7-day forecast, sea temperature and wave height, sunrise and sunset.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.0.6 — 2026-09-22

Visit Porto Santo is the independent guide to Porto Santo, the golden island of the Madeira archipelago. Nothing is invented: every place, date and figure comes from an official or documented source — the IPMA, the IFCN, the DROTe, the Câmara Municipal, OpenStreetMap.

THE MAP
Our own map of the island, drawn on the official aerial photography of the regional government, with the relief and the exact line of the trails. Beaches, viewpoints, peaks, nature, culture, restaurants and bars, activities and everyday services each have their filter, and names appear as you zoom in. Download it and keep it in your pocket without a network.

TODAY ON THE ISLAND
The weather, the sea beach by beach, the IPMA warnings, the state of the trails as the IFCN publishes it, and the week's events.

THE PLACES
Beaches and coves, viewpoints, peaks, churches, the Casa Colombo, the villages — with how to get there, where to park and what is good to know. Restaurants and bars are on the map, with a button to tell us if one has closed.

TO PREPARE
Itineraries by number of days, the activities and who runs them, the island's specialities, frequent questions, checklists, a Portuguese phrasebook with the pronunciation, and the island's history year by year.

ASK JAMES
A question about the island, a short answer from what the app knows — never a guess. James says plainly when the app does not have it, and is firm on the sea and the trails when the day says no. You can switch him off in Settings.

YOUR PHOTOS
Send your pictures of the island in a few seconds; the best go into the app, always credited.
