Madeira

region | 2024-04-07

Madeira surprised me with a storm and a bumpy landing, but it was a truly unforgettable experience. Respect to pilots. Everything else was smooth sailing, like the sensual charm of Portugal itself. Obviously, a few days aren’t enough to explore all the levadas (water channels), villages, restaurants, museums, and hiking trails. I believe it would take years to see it all! But this trip gave me a taste, and I can definitely recommend Madeira to anyone. It’s a fantastic place, and I’d be happy to return anytime. This time Madeira Became the Perfect Addition to my Mid-Atlantic Islands trip

Touchdown in Caniçal! Hoping my landing is smoother than this photo.
Beach alert! Who knew Machico, Madeira, had such a beautiful beach?
