About Madeira

Madeira is a Portuguese island just off the coast of Africa. It has a subtropical climate and an extensive irrigation system, making the island an ecological paradise. The centre of the island has spectacular mountains, with high peaks and extensive plateaus, making it extremely popular with walkers. The surrounding sea moderates the temperature giving the island a spring like climate for most of the year. Throughout the year there are many festivals and carnivals including a spectacular flower festival, which should not be missed. The people of the island are extremely friendly and crime is very low, making it one of the safest destinations for tourists. The official language is Portuguese, but English is widely spoken, so that communication is rarely a problem.
