Madeira a garden itself

by ncfg - last update: Oct 18, 2003

Madeira is an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, located 1,100 km southwest of Portugal. It is an autonomous region of Portugal. Madeira consist of two inhabited islands, Madeira and Porto Santo, and two uninhabited island groups, the Desertas and the Selvagens. The capital and largest city is Funchal , located on Madeira Island.
Madeira means wood in the Portuguese language, and the archipelago was named for its large forests and dense vegetation. Madeira has lush tropical and semitropical plant life and extensive gardens, and is famous for their mild, pleasant climate. Madeira Island features a mountainous topography.

In my travel i just had visit Madeira Island, Porto Santo it will be next time.

 Hi , I was impressed by Madeira's natural beauty in March (I have albums). I wanted to visit this village your photo shows so nicely but I couldn't. Next time definitely. Have a nice day.
