Old Madeira (3)

Monte Train

The Monte Train exploded at the 10th of September 1919, killing some people. Even after this event, the “Comboio” went on until the 17th of May 1943. Shortly after the last trip it was taken down.

Maybe one day the old train will be replaced by a modern funicular, similar in appearance, with room for 60 passengers. The project had a budget of €6.5 million but in the present crisis no one knows for sure. The works haven’t started yet. It is planned to run the same course of the original route, but only between stations at Largo da Fonte in Monte and Terreiro da Luta.

Aditional comment sent to us by Rolf Kullmann, Feng Shui expert & our guest in January 2011:
"The rooms are very well done, in good proportion and the colours are alive. The house has a spacious feel. Outside on the terrace there is a wonderful view of the village and the ocean. It's so great there feeling the elements of nature so strong. The spirit opens and the whole body can deeply relax... The village is idyllic; the inhabitants friendly and natural. Thank you for this place Sofia."
