Santana Theme Park. Discover, Play and Learn about MadeiraÂ´s History... There is something for everyone at the Santana Theme Park, on the north side of Madeira Island in the town of Santana. In Santana you will find it very common to see their typical âcasas de Santanaâ which are small thatched houses.
Thatching is the craft of building a roof with dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge (Cladium mariscus), rushes, or heather, layering the vegetation so as to shed water away from the inner roof. It is a very old roofing method and has been used in both tropical and temperate climates.hatch is still employed by builders in developing countries, usually with low-cost, local vegetation. By contrast in some developed countries it is now the choice of affluent people who desire a rustic look for their home, would like a more ecologically friendly roof, or who have purchased an originally thatched abode.
