Located in the northeast part of the island, this is "the capital" of golf in Madeira. A new project to protect biodiversity is the most visited highlight, in a village that is also known by its cider production.

Living for (and from) tourism for decades, Funchal was carefully embellished. That, together with the natural beauty makes it... beautiful.
A good place to stay some days, travelling around in the short trips needed to visit the picturesque points of the island.

One of the highest points of the island, this is a common and easy visit from Funchal, only a few minutes distant. The views are breathtaking, sometimes with the clouds at your feet, enhancing the dramatic landscape.

Located in the northwestern tip of the island, this is my favorite place, with a great landscape and a wise use of natural conditions to create a few pools in the sea. Not to be missed!

A nice village in the north and wild coast of the island, it shows signs of recent development. The beach is... impossible (seixo means pebble) and people lives mainly from agriculture and... tourism, of course. The many waterfalls do help!

Maybe the most remote location in the island, Eira do Serrado stays in a deep valley squeezed between the biggest mountains of the island. I only saw it from the distance, but that was enough to make me feel a sort of claustrophobia. How did they live before the new and practical road?

In my first visit to Madeira, we passed under a waterfall that hits the road near Seixal. I tried to show it to my friends, this time, and reading about "Véu da Noiva" - bride's veil, one of the most famous waterfalls, I thought it was it.
Wrong! It is a common waterfall, far from the road, and the one that I would like to see must be located in one of the closed segments of the old road.

Situated atop the island, in a wild area, Rabaçal is not pretty, but it seems to have the most interesting of the interesting "levadas" of the island. Unfortunately, we had no time to follow one of them.

One of the most promoted images of Madeira is the triangular facade of the typical houses that, nowadays, only exist in Santana, and, it seems, for touristy purposes. Well, they are nice.

Fajã is the name given to the narrow strips of land adjacent to the sea, and created by the erosion of the slopes. One of the most famous "Fajãs" is "Fajã dos Padres", below Cape Girão, in Câmara de Lobos, and only accessible from the sea or by a lift.
There´s a restaurant down there, but the lift only operates during the day.

How to describe this island. Describe shortly and simply? I have the word 'TUNNEL' in my mind. The tunnels of nature. The pathways under the tunnels of trees and bush. The tunnels of flowers on the...
