OVERVIEW
Things to do in Madeira
Known as the “Pearl of the Atlantic,” the paradise island of Madeira is a floating garden. Exotic shades of green filtered by shimmering light from precipitous mountains and waterfalls make this island a remarkable vision. Madeira is a dramatic island with amazing sea water pools built in the cliffs and gardens of every shape, size and variety. It is also the perfect venue to breathe deeply, relax and refresh as visitors leave the cares of the world behind to discover and explore this magical island.
Seafood lovers will think they have discovered paradise while on Madeira. Regional cuisine includes fresh-caught ocean fish, meats grilled on a spit, pickled pork in wine and garlic, delicious crusty regional breads and dark honey cake. Wild growing fresh fruits such as bananas, avocado, pear and passion fruit thrive in Madeira’s subtropical climate.

Comments
One of the great ways of exploring Madeira is through a variety of dishes this little town offers and truly represents Portuguese cuisine. Grab a terrific lunch at seaside restaurants serving the freshest seafood coupled with typical Portuguese wines. Funchal, its capital, harbors young talented artisans crafting interesting art pieces for sale. I have always liked a kick of surprise in every travel destination I go to and this certainly has something in store for different kinds of tourists.
