Some places are not just visited, they are felt. The site we will see in Ribeira Brava is one of those rare spaces where the soul of Madeira still whispers through objects, traditions, and everyday stories. Here, you don’t just see history, you enter it. Every tool, every textile, every voice echoes with the rhythm of lives that shaped the island.
And then, as if history itself set the table, comes lunch. Not just any lunch, but a moment of connection with Sandra Cardoso, known as “A Biqueira”. More than a cook, she is a storyteller through flavour, a guardian of Madeiran roots, someone who brings the island’s past into the present with every dish. Once a month, Sandra prepares a private lunch right inside the museum: the walls of Madeira’s past become the setting for flavours that feel like home. The other weeks, the story unfolds elsewhere, in a hidden place. A secret table by the sea, far from crowds, where food, salt air, and horizon become a single canvas.
The afternoon unfolds with a painting workshop guided by Bri, an artist and synesthete. With music chosen by each participant, sound becomes colour, and emotions take shape on the canvas. No experience required — just curiosity and openness. Everyone will leave with their own small artwork, a tangible memory of Madeira and of themselves.
