Madeira Features

Funchal Hospital

The Hospital Cruz de Carvalho serves Funchal and its surrounds and it is situated on the Avenida Luis de Camoes.

It operates a 24 hour Accident and Emergency Department.

So, if you are suddenly taken ill during your stay in Funchal, just get a taxi to convey you to the A&E department - but remember to take your passport and your EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) with you.

Relatives and friends accompanying you are likely to be requested to wait separately. However, whenever we have had need to call on the service, we have always found it to be both efficient and professional.

Funchal Football Stadium

The Estadio dos Barreiros is where Funchal's local football team, C.S. Maritimo, play their home games.

Being affiliated to the mainland football league, C.S. Maritimo host some of Portugal's top teams. And, on occasions, have welcomed other top European teams in the Europa League competition.

The stadium is also sometimes used for other local events.
