Visit Madeira
There’s an eternal garden “lost” in the Atlantic Ocean, with a subtropical climate and only 270,000 inhabitants, that we believe you should visit. We’re talking about Madeira!
The archipelago is located in the African Plate in the Atlantic Ocean, basically at the same latitude as Casablanca, and has a volcanic origin.
This archipelago is formed by the Madeira Island, Porto Santo, the Desertas Islands comprising three uninhabited islands, and by the Selvagens Islands with 2 islands and sixteen uninhabited islets. Of the eight islands, only the two largest (Madeira and Porto Santo) are inhabited and can be accessed via the Madeira Airport in Funchal and Porto Santo Airport.
The island of Madeira has a very rugged terrain, with the highest points being Pico Ruivo (1,862 m), Pico das Torres (1,851 m) and Pico do Arieiro (1,818 m). It is in this last one that we invite you for a one-of-a-kind activity: sunrise above the clouds, followed by a delicious breakfast on-site!
After such an amazing start to your day, you can discover the mountainous north side of the island, walk the wonderful levadas (man-made water canals) with breath-taking landscapes, visit a traditional sugar cane distillery (the only steam-powered engine in Europe), or have a traditional beef skewer in a laurel stick overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. If you prefer something quieter, you can go for a swim in a pool with seawater, or discover the marine wildlife on a private, relaxing cruise.
You can also discover the historical center of Funchal, the main city on the island where, not only you’ll be able to find centuries-old buildings such as the 16th-century cathedral, but also some of the most traditional shops and establishments like the Madeira wine, or the Madeira embroideries and, of course, the farmers’ market full of vibrant colors and smells.
But these are just a few ideas to open your appetite, we have a lot more fun and interesting ideas for your trip to Madeira!
