Visit Porto Santo is the independent guide to Porto Santo, the golden island of the Madeira archipelago. Nothing is invented: every place, date and figure comes from an official or documented source — the IPMA, the IFCN, the DROTe, the Câmara Municipal, OpenStreetMap. THE MAP Our own map of the island, drawn on the official aerial photography of the regional government, with the relief and the exact line of the trails. Beaches, viewpoints, peaks, nature, culture, restaurants and bars, activities and everyday services each have their filter, and names appear as you zoom in. Download it and keep it in your pocket without a network. TODAY ON THE ISLAND The weather, the sea beach by beach, the IPMA warnings, the state of the trails as the IFCN publishes it, and the week's events. THE PLACES Beaches and coves, viewpoints, peaks, churches, the Casa Colombo, the villages — with how to get there, where to park and what is good to know. Restaurants and bars are on the map, with a button to tell us if one has closed. TO PREPARE Itineraries by number of days, the activities and who runs them, the island's specialities, frequent questions, checklists, a Portuguese phrasebook with the pronunciation, and the island's history year by year. ASK JAMES A question about the island, a short answer from what the app knows — never a guess. James says plainly when the app does not have it, and is firm on the sea and the trails when the day says no. You can switch him off in Settings. YOUR PHOTOS Send your pictures of the island in a few seconds; the best go into the app, always credited. HONEST BY DESIGN No account, no sign-in, no tracking. Your favourites stay on your phone. Prices and opening hours appear only when an official source publishes them; what is not verified is left out rather than guessed. Languages: English, Portuguese, French.
