Madeira is Portugal's "Jewel in the Atlantic". The landscape is spectacular. A green mantle of rich subtropical foliage covers the landscape. The flowers & plants bloom throughout the year, making the island like a permanent floating flower show. The bright orange beak-like, birds of paradise flowers, blossom in open fields. The levadas, [walking paths] that skirt the edges of the mountain terraces are lined with fragrant hydrangeas. The 1,300 miles of levadas crisscrossing the island are Madeira’s system of irrigation channels. They carry water down from the mountains on gentle gradients. They have level footpaths running along their entire length, providing a ready-made system of trails. They are a perfect path for walkers of all ages & abilities. Madeira is ideal for anyone who likes gentle walks or hard core hiking.
Due to its sub-tropical climate, the island is often referred to as the "island of eternal spring". The temperature varies between 18C and 23C throughout the year. The people are friendly, helpful and gracious.
