A Long-Awaited Return for Locals and Tourists
The Rocha do Navio cable car (Santana cable car), will finally reopen after being closed for more than 18 months. The cable car has undergone extensive repairs and safety updates, ensuring a smooth and secure experience for passengers. A successful test run took place last week, and the final inspection by the regional authorities is as early as next week, paving the way for its official return.
When will it reopen? We're expecting the reopening as early as next week
Boost for Local Agriculture
In addition to reopening the cable car, the Municipality of Santana is investing in the local farming community. A new support package of €14,000 has been approved to assist around 80 farmers with irrigation and wheat production. This also reflects in the price for the cable car, while visitors will pay €8.00, local farmers can enjoy a reduced rate of €2.00.
