700 Steps to Madeira’s Hidden Village | Calhau da Lapa Revisited 🌊

Beneath the cliffs of Campanário lies Calhau da Lapa, one of Madeira’s most secluded coastal places. Last year, I filmed here and was fascinated by the stone houses carved into the volcanic rock, once used by fishermen and their families. This year, I returned to see how Calhau da Lapa is doing now! A place both beautiful and fragile, officially closed due to the risk of rockfall. In this video, we descend the 700 steps to the sea, explore the old shelters, and discover what remains of this hidden corner of Madeira. Last year I filmed during the sunset, but this time chose to visit in the early morning. Check last years video here if you haven't:    • Chasing The Sunset: A Breathtaking Evening...   --- Calhau da Lapa is one of Madeira’s hidden gems, a secret place beneath the cliffs near Campanário, known for its stone houses, fishing heritage, and crystal waters. About the caves: The caves at Calhau da Lapa were historically used by sea traders for shelter and storage of their goods, and by fishermen to store their tools and nets, before roads were built and sea transport was the primary method for moving goods along the coast. These ancient caves, carved into the volcanic cliffs, were crucial for those who relied on the sea for their livelihood and travel. Today, some locals have restored these caves and rent them out, offering a unique place to stay for visitors. (But at the moment they are all closed) Still, they remain a fascinating part of the local culture, providing a glimpse into traditional island life and the island's history.
