How was life like back then in PORTO DA CRUZ? (Madeira)
The parish of Porto da Cruz was created on 26 September 1577. The origin of the community's name came from the fact that the original discoverer affixed a steel cross at the port, in order to better identify the location to ocean travelers.
Cultivation and harvesting of sugarcane occupied the activities of early settlers. The aguardente factory, completed after 1858, was part of this industry, converting the grapes and juice into a local spirit, uniquely cultivating the American caste of grape in this territory.
Due to the diseases that devastated much of the European grape production in Madeira in the 19th century, American grape varieties such as Isabel, which are more resistant to diseases, were introduced in the mid-19th century as rootstock. This made the production of European grape varieties less susceptible to diseases.
However, due to the high resistance and productivity of these American varieties, they began to be produced on their own (without being grafted), leading to the production of dry wine. This wine quickly gained market popularity among the population, mainly due to its lower commercial value.

    Oh wow!! Four years on, no one will probably notice this comment but... So much fun to see Jeff, Lisa (from Free Walking Tours Funchal) and the folks so many years ago. We did a tours with Lisa last year (September 2023) and her tour was great!! I can't imagine there's any poncha that isn't "the greatest in the world" to use Jeff's phrase. I bet what Jeff came up with that day was delish! So fun to look back on these videos. And even more wonderful to know that you all continue your work to promote many of the lovely sites and experiences Madeira has to offer, and to help folks recognize how prescious - and sometimes fragile - all this can be. Thank you all for your work!

    Could make a video that describes the current life for locals on Madeira island ? Their common difficulties cost of living housing market prices. As more i try to know and understand Madeira the more it looks like wonderful place to live but it is a nice place when you have money but for local it is probably becoming very difficult due to so much foreigners coming the live on the island.

    • @Hittheroadmadeira

      Hi Dimitri, I think that is a topic that perhaps would generate too much unpopular opinion. I am a positive guy and I don’t want to be looking for negative things. I prefer to celebrate than to complain. Life is getting more expensive everywhere, I’m sure where you live house prices have gone up yes? Everywhere is getting expensive my friend, the only difference is that now we have opportunity, years ago my family left Madeira because there was not enough money or food. Now you have tourism and there is work and new opportunities, I prefer to see the opportunities. There are many great videos coming to this channel, but this kind of topic I think I am staying away from my friend I’m sorry, I hope you stick around 🙏 have a great weekend 🤠

    Interesting set up they have there. Also, there is no methenol in a sugar wash (there's no pectin) so the distiller's assumption that "you can go blind" is totally wrong. He also believes that methenol is from copper, which makes no sense at all.

    Book an excursion!!! It's a mountain island, no space for big parkings and for every tourist and their car. Book an excursion. Did you see the big bus? Designated parking. Plus the guides will let you know lots of little extra info. Seriously, with so many tourists in these last few years, the better option is to join a group. Some paths are less sought after, and for those you can go solo. But do not stray from the path. And inform someone of where you will be.

    Thanks for cobbling together this,Jeff. Some really interesting places, though that water under the airport looks scary. Never used the cable car but I’ve heard Garajau is great for diving (maybe not beach). Your trip to Canical brings up the point that, though it is one of the island’s most important towns, there are very few videos about it on UA-cam. Thanks again and see you soon.

    So excited to book with Lisa. I did find Lise on instagram before seeing this video (ai🤪) but I do not see her details below.

      You can look up Free Walking Tours Funchal, she’s the one and only, the original. If you have trouble, just email us and I’ll make sure to get you in contact

    I just want to show my support to what many already wrote. Very special video, very inspiring. Madeira's history - and present - is full of examples of globalization, emmigration, immigration. Always nice to hear first hand experiences! Keep on the good work!
