Laje
About
Laje, on Madeira, sits at R. do Porto da Laje in Seixal, on the island's northern coast. First-time visitors arrive to a bar in a small coastal parish, where the pace is set by the sea rather than by the resort towns.
A 4.3 out of 5 average from 241 reviews places it among the more widely reviewed bars on this side of the island. Seixal lies west of São Vicente and is reached by the coastal road that runs from Funchal through Câmara de Lobos and on towards Porto Moniz. Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta are the island's main settlements, and the northern route connects several of them past this point.
Portuguese is the official language on Madeira, with a local accent that differs from the mainland, and English is common in tourist areas. The northern coast is the wetter side of the island, with rain falling mainly in the winter half of the year.
Whales, dolphins and seabirds gather in the surrounding waters, and whale-watching boats run from several points around the island.
