The island of Madeira has an excellent climate thanks to its privileged geographical localization in the Gulf Stream. This localization allows the island to have very warm summers and truly mild winters. Undoubtedly, these characteristics make Madeira the perfect holiday’s destination at any season of the year.
The capital and only city of the island is Funchal, where the majority of Madeira’s museums and historical buildings are located. Here, visitors can enjoy the best hotels, restaurants and shops all over the island. And, if you want to know the history of Portugal and Madeira in depth, we highly recommend a visit to the Cicade do Açucar Museum or to the Arte Sacra Museum, the two most important ones from Madeira.

The vast majority of Madeira’s crops grow along the sunny south coast of the island. However, in the north area of Madeira, which is colder and wetter than in the south, you will find a land full of farms. Almost the whole volcanic landscape remains without having been touched, and, some of its places are only accessible if you go walking.
Undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful aspects of the island of Madeira is its natural landscapes, with incredibly astonishing views as the Laurisilva Forest, declared Human Heritage by UNESCO.
Apart from all these aforementioned aspects and places, Madeira is worth visiting, at least once in a lifetime, because of its excellent gastronomy. This place is famous for both its wines and meats. As for the meats, the most delicious one is the skewered beefs and steaks, made with a little addition of salt and cooked on the grill. And, of course, our recommendation is to taste magnificent dishes made of cod and tuna.
