Centro Laranjeiras
About
Centro Laranjeiras serves Madeira from Calheta, a shopping mall on the island's south-western coast. A 4.6 out of 5 average from 59 reviews places it among the better regarded stops on this stretch of Madeira.
Calheta sits within easy driving distance of Funchal and Câmara de Lobos, and the other towns along the coast — Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente and Porto Moniz — are all reachable on a day out from the island's main resorts. Shoppers visiting Madeira will find the centre in Calheta, on the quieter western side of the island.
Island cooking leans on fresh seafood, tuna, maize and root vegetables such as cassava and sweet potato, so a meal after shopping is easy to find nearby.
Madeira's volcanic origins shape the steep, green landscape that surrounds Calheta, and the mid-Atlantic setting keeps the climate mild through the year. Portuguese is the everyday language, though English is widely understood in shops and restaurants. Drivers should allow extra time on the winding coastal roads that link the western towns.
