About this audio guide
This guide to Ribeira Brava on Madeira starts with one carved stone object in the parish church of São Bento, and with a king in Lisbon who never needed to see this valley to leave his mark on it. It follows the town's rituals, from the first water poured over its children to the summer feast of the fishermen's saint. Best heard on the church square, with the church door in view.
