RE: Magical Madeira: picturesque traditional houses in Santana

I was thinking how well kept the houses are when I saw them, particularly the paint looked so fresh and neatly painted... The second house looks different from the others, do you think that might be an original? Or maybe an older fake one?

Well spotted! I´m pretty sure the house in the second picture is one of the original ones. My theory is that the locked houses that are close to public are the originals and are still owned and used by the locals. Those open to public are probably the fakes, built only to show the tourists what the houses look like. But I may be wrong :) Btw thanks for including my post in the honorable mentions yesterday! Much appreciated :)
