Lying west of Funchal, the charming fishing port of Camara de Lobos has kept its colourful boats, green-shuttered white houses and friendly cat population. A frequent visitor to the area in the 1950s, Winston Churchill loved to paint the port from the panoramic viewpoint located at the entrance to the city. The city takes its name from the seals (lobos) that lived there in the past. Unfortunately, they disappeared a long time ago.
