1 Best Sight in Madeira, Portugal

Engenhos do Norte

A visit to the working sugar cane mill is a reminder that the industry once played a pivotal role in the region. The mill operates during April and May, immediately after the sugar cane harvest, but a visit any time of year will let you see the various stages of the steam-driven production. After walking around the mill, you can finish up in the Rum House to sample some of the beverages made with the crop.
