Seeing Sound: The Story Behind Art Hop Madeira

Some people visit Madeira for the views.
We created Art Hop for the feeling.

Art Hop Madeira was born from the meeting of two worlds: Bri, a synaesthetic artist who turns music into colour, and Alex, a mountain guide who knows every secret path of the island. Together, we aimed to showcase Madeira in a unique light, not through traditional tours, but through art, sound, and emotion.

Our experiences are not about checking boxes or following maps. They’re about tuning in to colour, to texture, to the invisible rhythm of a place. We move gently through galleries, vineyards, forests, and coastlines, transforming each stop into an act of creation.

What is synaesthesia?
It’s a rare condition where senses blend, sound becomes colour, touch feels like tone, and taste evokes shape. BSP experiences the world this way, and every tour is designed to help you feel a bit of that, too. Whether you’re painting to music in a vineyard or tasting wine after a gallery visit, each detail is part of a multisensory journey through Madeira’s artistic soul.

Art Hop’s mission is simple:
To reimagine travel as an art form.
To turn cultural discovery into a shared act of creation.
To make you feel Madeira, not just see it.

Together, we hope to create lifetime memories, shaped by senses and stories that stay with you long after you’ve left the island.
