“I am truly proud and a keen defender of this island!” These are the words of Ana Soares, who was born in the city of Funchal 43 years ago. With such conviction, Blandy’s Wine Lodge manager is certainly a reliable source when it comes to the best spots in the island. She knows how lucky she is to live in this “paradise-like location with its breathtaking sceneries, amazing temperatures all year round and warm-hearted people”. Even though she highlights Funchal for being “charismatic and cosmopolitan”, Ana reveals that the real island haven is Fajã dos Padres. That is surely why her perfect day in Madeira includes a swim in the amazing sea and a seaside sunset in the southwest coast of the island. Also, leaving before visiting the cellars and tasting Blandy’s Madeira Wine would be a sin, comparable only to leaving Rome without seeing the Pope.
