Ribeiro Frio in Madeira has been appropriately named by the Portuguese inhabitants of the island. To them, it means only 1 point - and that is Cold River. When you have visited, you will bear in mind it for only one particular point as effectively!
This tiny village, seemingly cast aside surrounded by unspoilt forest land, is situated in the mid eastern component of Madeira Island. It has a quick flowing river, drained of any warmth by the altitude. It is this river that also spawns 1 of the primary tourist sights that entices so several visitors to this remote vacation spot.
Common with equally tour corporations and person savvy holidaymakers who have a hire automobile, the roads coming into Ribeiro village are typically congested with parked automobiles and coaches. The road from Santana on the north coast climbs as it methods, whilst the street from Funchal in the south slopes down very steeply as you enter the village. Both way, don't be amazed if, open arrival, you areneeded to abandon your transport and walk a hundred metres or so to get to the heart of the village.
When you have last but not least arrived, you will perhaps be a little disappointed because, on initial glance, Ribeiro Frio seems to consist of absolutely nothing much more than a single restaurant, a small bar and a tourist souvenir shop. Nevertheless, do not misjudge this delightful rural village, for individuals in the know, there are things of interest to see and do.
Hardly 20 metres down from the Ribeiro Frio Restaurant, there is the major goal of most peoples' pay a visit to: The regional authorities operated, trout farm. Which, incidentally, is open to the public admission free. Here, you can stroll around the pleasantly planted grounds whilst you make your way amid the several trout ponds. The uninspiring, plain, white, square hatchery tanks are perfunctory and nothing else. Whereas, the round, brickwork, green hue of the grownup pools can go away you gazing into an limitless twirl of performing rainbow trout. And, every single is fed by the chill, fresh new waters of the nearby river that gives the village its title.
Regretfully, individuals who fancy a spot of impromptu fishing will be disappointed. Angling is strictly prohibited. I have even heard a rumour that the outstanding trout on the menu at the nearby restaurant is not even sourced from the farm. One person has even "gone public" and declared that not one particular single rainbow trout will ever before be noticed on any Madeiran menu until eventually that elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow has been found. This is hard to credit. Madeira Island is not blessed with easily exploited all-natural resources and the neighborhood population has a prolonged custom of extracting each and every very last minute advantage that is on give.
