Antica Madeira and the Old Generation
Madeira - in some parts of the countryside - is still very old with old-looking typically ( Santana ) homes and with a great and continuous acceptance and regard for the old generation, without modern water systems, but washing clothes in the fresh water of the canal system ( Levada ).
If you make an excursion on your own around Madeira, you'll discover that there are still parts which have not yet been excessively explored by material structures for tourism, and it will give you pleasure to go for a walk through these parts. One part of Funchal that you must visit is the Old Town ( Zona Velha), where you can see old original streets and buildings.
