"Madeira - Small archipelago of volcanic orgin." Top 5 Page for this destination Madeira Island by Jerelis


Madeira Island Travel Guide: 940 reviews and 1,864 photos

Mild weather throughout the year.

Madeira is a small archipelago of volcanic origin in the middle of the Atlantic. The weather is mild throughout the year. The landscape is luxuriant, irrigated by cascading streams, while mountain peaks seem to rise abruptly from the ocean.

If hiking is your passion ... Madeira is paradise!

Still under construction ...

Funchal

Don't forget to have a look at our Funchal page.

Funchal city is the capital of the island of Madeira. It's a city of white rows of houses that climb up the hills, like an amphitheatre around a beautiful bay of blue sea. We loved to explore the city, and therefore we saw a lot of old and characteristic churches, mansions, palaces and monuments.

    Much liked your informative tips on Madeira which we visited many years ago. Is the landing at the airport still so acrobatic?
