Madeira

The Madeira archipelago was created by a volcanic explosion and lies southwest of Lisbon and off the coast of Morocco. Those who like simple hikes and botany should visit these islands. Madeira is the cradle of Atlantic island vegetation and benefits from a temperate climate. The “Island of Endless Spring” has established itself as a less crowded alternative to the Balearics and Canaries.

One of the most charming places in the Azores archipelago is undoubtedly Madeira, sometimes nicknamed “the floating paradise”. She is elegant, and for good reason. Its capital, Funchal, is not only a bustling shopping center but also a beautiful place. In addition, this enchanted place organizes a festival every year exclusively dedicated to the flowers of Madeira Island. Everything is embellished with beautiful dances, costumes and floats. Trekking enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the highest mountain on the island, Pico do Areeiro. Take a sidecar ride through the streets of Funchal at night. A quinta is a wonderful traditional house where you can spend the night. The indigenous appetizer, poncha, is delicious and fresh. Walk through the levadas, which are small canals painstakingly dug into the slope. Explore the ferns of Queimadas Forest Park. Take a dip in the natural pools of Porto Moniz. Embark on a thrilling journey across the Madeiran plateau.

Regarding gastronomy, you can find the same specialties as the country to which it belongs, Portugal.
