Caniçal is a little fishing village with a rich religious tradition and it is also the oldest parish of Madeira Island.
On the third weekend of September fishermen go out to the sea in a procession of Nossa Senhora da Piedade, which is happening at the same time as the famous ‘Festa de Nossa Senhora da Piedade’ (Fair of Our Lady of Mercy). www.madeira-web.com/PagesUK/canical.html
