Madeira, the Garden Island - With its location just 300 km off the coast of Africa, the Portuguese island of Madeira is known as "the island of eternal spring" with a winter average high temperature of 17 degrees. The climate is ideal for walking and Madeira offers scenic footpaths along the many "levadas" (irrigation channels) amid exotic vegetation and flowers. It also boasts highly regarded wine, artisan crafts, beautiful scenery, sea-faring traditions, and European history. Christopher Columbus lived and studied navigation here before sailing to America.
Our holiday is based at the 4 star ocean-front Sentido Galosol Resort. Picturesquely set above the Atlantic at Canico on the south-east side of the island near the capital of Funchal, the hotel offers indoor and outdoor pools, fitness centre, yoga, bicycle rental and spa. A nearby bus stop offers easy access into the town of Funchal.
