Serrão
About
Serrão, on Madeira, operates from R. Cmte. Camacho de Freitas 4 in Ribeira Brava, a fuel stop on the island's southern coast.
First-time visitors should expect a straightforward service point rather than a large complex, with opening hours running 07:00 to 23:00 daily and a website at serrao.pt for reference. A 4.1 out of 5 average from 96 reviews reflects a generally positive reception among those who have stopped here. Reaching the site from Funchal, Câmara de Lobos or Calheta is manageable by road along the coastal route. Ribeira Brava sits on the sheltered southern side of Madeira, where the weather stays drier than the north for much of the year.
Fish stews and grilled fish are everyday dishes on Madeira, and each island keeps its own recipes.
Travellers heading onward to São Vicente, Porto Moniz or Santana cross to the wetter northern half, where rain falls mainly in the winter months. The surrounding Atlantic waters draw whales, dolphins and seabirds, and whale-watching boats run from several points around the island. Volcanic peaks, crater lakes and steep terraced fields shape the landscape across most of the archipelago.
