Camacha

Portugal / Madeira / Canico /
 village, commune - administrative division

Camacha is a beautiful small village a few kilometres in the hills east of Funchal. It is famous for its ‘Apple Festival’ and its very active folklore dance groups.
Camacha is also called ‘the village of basket makers’ which is actually not doing it any justice as it is much more than that ... it represents the centre of Madeira’s willow craft industry! www.madeira-web.com/PagesUK/camacha.html
