Eira Salgada
About
On Madeira, Eira Salgada is a café set in the upland parish of Camacha, at Caminho Mun. dos Salgados 55, 9135-340 Camacha, Portugal.
Eira Salgada is known among locals and returning visitors for its position in Camacha, a parish in the hills above Funchal. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward café stop rather than a full restaurant meal, with the surrounding hills and levada paths providing the reason most people pass through. A rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 85 reviews places it comfortably among the better-regarded cafés on the island. Funchal, Câmara de Lobos and Caniço all sit within reach, so it fits easily into a day of driving between the coast and the interior.
Camacha is reached by road from Funchal, and the village itself is a common stop on island tours. Portuguese is the everyday language on Madeira, though English is widely understood in tourist areas.
Madeira's winter months are cooler and windier than the summer, and rainfall varies across the island's microclimates. Whale-watching boats operate from several points around the island, with dolphins, whales and seabirds gathering in the surrounding Atlantic waters. A car makes the most sense for reaching inland parishes such as Camacha, since bus services are less frequent away from the main coastal routes.
