paulo david's casa das mudas, calheta, madeira island
Not your typical pre-school art education: Tormentina's favorite playgrounds in Calheta is the aesthetically pleasing wonderland of the Casa das Mudas. The beautiful building complex, designed by architect Paulo David, sits high above a sea-side cliff on the south-western coast of Madeira.
