Funchal, MadeiraBlessed by a climate that’s almost perfect all year round, the sub-tropical paradise island of Madeira is a haven for those seeking peace, quiet and pure relaxation. The island is regarded as the ‘Floating Garden of the Atlantic’ because of its stunning variety of flora and fauna, and offers a number of excellent beaches against a spectacular backdrop of mountain scenery.
The island’s capital, Funchal, offers many attractions, including flower, vegetable and fish markets, and there are various wine lodges where you can sample some of the famous Madeira wine. Indulge in a spot of souvenir shopping and perhaps treat yourself to some of the renowned embroidery, tapestry or wickerwork, or even some Portuguese filigree jewellery.
