Madeira, Portugal is an archipelago autonomous region located in the North Atlantic Ocean, about 1,000 kilometers away from the Portuguese mainland, consisting of eight islands, including the main island of Madeira and Porto Santo Island. It is famous for its steep cliffs, dense subtropical vegetation and crystal clear waters, and is known as the "Garden of the Atlantic". The capital, Funchal, has a waterfront with colorful houses and a historic old town, while Cape Rude is the westernmost cape in Europe. Madeira's mild climate, with an average annual temperature of around 20°C and four seasons of spring, makes it an ideal place for summer vacationing and hiking, with the famous levada irrigation trail taking you through forests and waterfalls. The local culture is a mix of Portuguese and African elements, with vibrant traditional festivals such as the Festival of Flowers, and a cuisine that is not to be missed with Black Sword wine and grilled cod. Whether you're looking for adventurous scuba diving, hiking or just a relaxing time on the island, Madeira has everything you could want from an island.
