Where to Buy Groceries in Porto Moniz for a Self-Catering Stay
A quick overview of the topics covered in this article.
One of the greatest luxuries of renting a self-catering apartment on Madeira’s wild North Coast is the freedom to cook with a view in the confort of your own accommodation. After a long day hiking the Fanal Forest or swimming in the volcanic pools, there is nothing quite like opening a bottle of wine and preparing dinner while listening to the Atlantic Ocean.
But if you are basing your stay in Porto Moniz, you might be wondering: Where do I actually buy groceries? Here is your quick guide to shopping locally on the North Coast.
1. The Local Supermarkets (Your Daily Essentials)
You don’t need to haul groceries all the way from Funchal. Porto Moniz has several excellent local supermarkets that carry fresh bread, produce, meats, and all your daily essentials.
2. The Fresh Bakeries (Padarias)
No morning on Madeira is complete without fresh bread. Stop by the local bakeries to pick up warm Bolo do Caco (Madeira’s famous sweet potato bread) or fresh pastries before you hit the Levadas.
