Madeira

Antoine's view

That they leave Europe for the Antilles, or they return after one season spent cruising the Caribbean,the Nomadic Yachts often stopover in Madeira...

The island is spectacular and accessible; its wine, of course, is famous, and the way in which the vines are harvested is picturesque; excursions along the channels that irrigate the land are spectacular.

The historic testimonies are great as well as numerous, from the over-populated marina of Funchal to the cliffs of the northern coast, the small port of Camara de Lobos in Baia de Abra, anchorage surrounded by jutting rocks, in Madeira one can not help to be filled with wonder?

Please let me entrust to you my secret, Porto Santo; it is a few miles North-East of Madeira, the island is mountain less, arid and less impressive than Madeira?but how life is sweet, in the small village streets where Christopher Columbus once lived with its immense white sandy beaches ! the inhabitants of Madeira are aware of this, at the end of the week when they feel like relaxing on a beach they go to Porto Santo.
