Rent a car in Madeira, best way to go around
While in Madeira, and apart from Funchal, which deserves at least a full day or two you can easily get a glimpse of the island with a car.Try to divide the island in 2 parts -roughly the west on 1st day, the east on 2nd. The 2nd will be more "dramatic" in terms of scenery.Starting with Curral das Freiras, Cabo Girão, S. Vicente, Porto Moniz, Calheta, Câmara de Lobos (1st day) and Pico do Arieiro, Santana and Ponta de S. Lourenço (2nd day) ... you have a lot to photograph...Some of my best flowers' photos I took not at the Botanical Gardens (Funchal) but on the wild in Encumeada (stop there on the way from Ribeira Brava to S. Vicente)While in Funchal take profit of the car and go up to the Monte (insteed of the cable car)With a bit more time you can go to the "levadas" but this will take sometimes (the best ones) a full day and for that you don't need a car but a good pair of shoes.Enjoy
