Quinta Grande has a long history that dates back several centuries. The name "Quinta Grande" translates to "Big Estate" in English, indicating its historical association with agricultural land and estates.
During the early colonization of Madeira in the 15th century, Quinta Grande played a role in the cultivation and production of goods such as sugarcane, vineyards, and cereals. These agricultural products contributed to the economic prosperity of the island at that time.
Quinta Grande also witnessed significant developments in the 19th century when Madeira experienced the growth of tourism and the exportation of its natural resources. The town became a popular destination for visitors seeking scenic beauty and a relaxing atmosphere.

Campanário is a coastal village located near Quinta Grande on the southwestern coast of Madeira. Like Quinta Grande, Campanário has a history rooted in agriculture, fishing, and maritime traditions.
The village gets its name from the bell tower ("Campainha" in Portuguese) of the local church, which was historically used to announce events, warn of danger, or summon the community.
Campanário's development as a fishing village dates back centuries, with its residents relying on fishing as a means of livelihood. The sea provided abundant resources such as fish and seafood, contributing to the sustenance of the local community.

Founded in the 15th century, Ribeira Brava was initially established as a small settlement and gradually grew into an important agricultural and trading center. The name of the town comes from the river that flows through it, which was characterized by its strong and wild currents.
