RE: Magical Madeira: picturesque traditional houses in Santana

How impressive and beautiful architecture those typical Madeira houses have!... I don't remember having seen them before, thank you very much for sharing this excellent article accompanied by those magical photos... And what a lovely climate they had there that moment apparently!.. The most fascinating thing about this was looking at that wonderful roof made of plant materials!

I understand from what you wrote that these are reconstructions to show to tourists and I assumed that because of how new and pristine they look. However, the interesting thing about all this is the architecture of those houses, I imagine that it is a design to minimize the impacts of the climate and provide comfort to its inhabitants...

Regards a nd hugs @phortun friend!

@phortun! Your Content Is Awesome so I just sent 1 $BBH (Bitcoin Backed Hive) to your account on behalf of @jlinaresp. (3/5)

Thank you very much for your kind feedback, support and curation my friend! Well, I think that the original houses look just as beautiful but they probably are not open to public. You can see that some houses are locked. These are probably the original ones and their owners just don´t want the tourists to hang around their homes :) The roofs are interesting indeed. It actually rains very often on Madeira so I cannot really imagine how the straw roofs can protect the interior from the water but it obviously works, somehow :D
