Holiday in MadeiraSituated off the west coast of Morocco, southwest of Lisbon, the beautiful Portuguese island of Madeira is a hidden gem in the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. With a verdant and colourful landscape made up of lush river valleys, terraced hillsides and thick, opulent forests; Madeira is often referred to as the ‘Floating Garden’. Fragrant and colourful orchids, bougainvillea, frangipani, wisteria and geraniums dot the landscape making it a naturalist’s haven of scenic beauty. With an abundance of luxurious holiday resorts peppering its Atlantic coastline, Madeira is a paradise for those looking for a hot, relaxing break. Aside from the stunning mountainous scenery, Madeira has a lively and vibrant atmosphere around its villages and towns. The bustling capital of Funchal, which lies at the base of the hills, is a scenic mélange of colonial whitewashed buildings, black, rock-carved churches and cosmopolitan amenities. Designer boutiques, pavement cafes, restaurants and lively bars line the streets and give you plenty of choice during your Madeira holiday. With so much natural beauty surrounding the rustic villages and lively resorts, Madeira is the ideal destination for a rejuvenating holiday to refresh the senses.

Madeira Cuisine – Influenced by its Portuguese heritage, Madeira’s cuisine is deliciously rustic. Being an island, you can expect freshly caught seafood to be a specialty, with clams, mussels and oysters being a popular choice as well as the more robust option of scabbard fish, tuna steaks or swordfish. ‘Espetada’ which are beef kebabs and 'carne de vinho e alhos', a meal of pork marinated in wine vinegar and garlic are two of many national dishes full of flavour and spice; certainly a must try. Madeira is also world famous for its Madeira wine and cake; in most restaurants you will find a mouth-watering selection of cakes, pastries and wines to compliment your meal.|
