of almost 9 km of golden sand and inviting waters.

HISTORY

History and legend mingle when we refer to the origins of the island

of Porto Santo. In 1418 during the kingdom of D. João I, the island was

discovered by João Gonçalves Zarco and Tristão Vaz Teixeira, who, with

only a small fleet, prepared to explore the African coast. Ravaged by

a huge storm when all seemed lost, the navigators caught sight of

a small island with golden sand that sheltered them from the tempest.

It is said that this was how name of the island arose: Porto Santo,

or "Holy Harbour".

The first colonisers started to grow some cereals, breed cattle, plant

vineyards and also to commercialise the famous dyeing material called

"dragon's blood", which was coveted in the European markets of that

time. Dragon's Blood was extracted from an endemic plant, already

extinct in Porto Santo, known as dragon tree (Dracaena draco).

The discovery of the island of Porto Santo, in the beginning of the 15th

century, represented an important landmark in the history of mankind,

since it determined the beginning of the great Portuguese Discoveries'

epopee, led by Prince Henry, the Navigator.

curiositiesThere are many curiosities that make of Porto Santo an

island so interesting to know in detail. Discover the history

of the island starting from the shreds of history spread

a bit around everywhere.

porto santo .07

Vila BaleiraVila Baleira is the head township where in 1419 Bartolomeu Perestrelo,

one of the settlers of this archipelago, founded the first village. Today,

this quiet town is concentrated around the Largo do Pelourinho, the

main square. The Mother Church and the Christopher Columbus House

Museum (Casa Museu Cristóvão Colombo) are two important historical

landmarks where you will be able to learn more about the history of

the island. To finish your day take a walk at sunset, down to the old

quay built in 1935, or if you would prefer, stroll along the seashore in

the promenade located west of the quay.

HISTORY


HISTORY

lime mines

In Ilhéu de Baixo, also known as Ilhéu da Cal (or Lime Islet), we

find a set of mines rich in limestone, which is an important

evidence of the natural and geomorphologic heritage of Porto

Santo island.

Its slopes are pierced with grottos, which are nowadays

deactivated and several galleries are still open to visitors.

casas de salão (salão houses)

One of the finest examples of the island's traditional architecture

are the Salão Houses. Salão is a name that derives from the

material used on the roof of these houses: a kind of sandy clay

which operates a natural heating and cooling system. The houses

are kept cool during the summer, due to the cracks that appear

in the salão when the weather is hot; and warm in the winter,

as the sandy mix absorbs the rain, thus becoming spongy and

impermeable. It is worth paying a visit to some of the centenary

old constructions that can still be found in the island.

08. porto santo


porto santo .09

windmills

The picturesque look of Porto Santo is highlighted by the countless

rotating windmills made of wood, some of which are still functioning.

Being an island exposed to the wind from all directions, and with

a relatively low relief, the first windmill was the most grandiose

oeuvre built in Porto Santo during the 18th century.

matamorras

From the 15th to the 18th century, Porto Santo's history has been

marked by it's vulnerability to attacks by pirates and corsairs. For

four centuries, the long stretch of golden sand, which today is

one of Porto Santo's biggest attractions, was the weakest spot

of the island. It made it extremely difficult for the people of Porto

Santo to protect themselves and their belongings from the

pillages that took place.

A solution was derived from the Moresque heritage in the form

of matamorras or open pits, which were dug underneath the

house's floors or in hidden sheltered places. These openings

were covered by a square basalt slab sealed with clay mixed with

water and used to protect the people's belongings from the

greed of the Algerian pirates, who at that time represented the

greatest danger for the island.

HISTORY


Columbus at the island of Porto Santo

There was a famous navigator who lived here and who eventually placed the island's name in every history book: Christopher Columbus.

It was here that the famous navigator married and lived with Filipa Moniz, the daughter of Bartolomeu Perestrelo, the first donatory captain

of the island and here the couple also had a son. Columbus studied and improved some navigation techniques in Porto Santo, already

employed by the Portuguese, which became essential elements for his voyages and discoveries.

WELLNESS

The white sands, the long shore and the warm and

crystalline waters are not Porto Santo's only charming

attractions. This holidaymaker's paradise is also coveted

for the countless therapeutic properties of its sands and

waters, which combine in various forms of treatments.

The treatment of orthopedic, rheumatic and physiatric

diseases is merely an example of the many healing

opportunities of this destination, located only 50 km away

from the island of Madeira.

And that's not all. The seawater's richness in iodine, calcium

and magnesium is another reason why this island is the

ideal place to recover from the body's lack of mineral salts,

caused by stress and fatigue.

Porto Santo's therapeutic sandUnlike most beaches, the sand on Porto Santo is essentially carbonated,

formed by sediments of corals, seashells and sea-urchins. With

scientifically proven results, these sands relieve rheumatic pains and

help recover bone fractures, and are used in the treatments developed

by the Geomedicine Centre on the island.

Porto Santo's waterSeawater is used in thalassotherapy treatments, due to its substantially

elevated quantities of chromium, strontium and iodine, all benefic

elements for your health. Likewise, Porto Santo's spring waters, both

bicarbonated and sodic, are also rich in essential components to the

well-being of our body.

thalassotherapyStress, exhaustion, fatigue, sedentariness, dietary deficiencies,

intoxication caused by tobacco, osteoarthritis, digestive disorders and

postpartum recovery are some of various treatments offered by the

island's centre of Thalassotherapy, which means "cure by the sea" in

Greek. Come visit this unique centre in Porto Santo and relax while

you take care of yourself and of your health.



by airThe island possesses an international airport with direct connections to Madeira,

and the flight is about 15 minutes long. If you're flying from the Portuguese

continent, it will take you little more than an hour.
