About this audio guide
This guide to Prainha do Caniçal, the little black-sand cove on Madeira's eastern tip, is about the chapel on the hill above it and the fishermen of Caniçal who keep a promise to the woman inside. It reaches back to a storm off these rocks and forward to a September weekend when the bay fills with dressed-up boats. Best heard on the sand, with the chapel in view.
