Levada Tip

With the weather being so unpredictable make sure that you carry a light rain mac, wear good stout shoes and use walking poles. Check weather reports as the weather in the mountains and coastal regions can be very different to that in Funchal or low-lying areas. Be prepared and remember ‘No one died from not going on a walk.’

Bank Robbery Goes Wrong – Twice!

6th August 2019

The Machico Public Security Police (PSP) has arrested a man who tried to rob a bank twice this month in Caniçal.

The 38-year-old male attempted to rob a Santander branch on the 1^st and 5^th of August. His first attempt was seen as a bungled affair without any real planning or purpose, but for the second he was slightly more determined as he broke the bank’s glass door with a concrete block. He was later arrested by the PSP, who had him sent to the Dr Nelio Mendonça Hospital for psychiatric evaluation and hospitalisation.
