Thinking of going on holiday to Madeira
Madeira is often described as an island of flowers. Bird of paradise and many other exotic flowers bloom all over the island. It is a holiday island and offers numerous apartments for self-catering breaks.
Madeira isn’t a typical package tour holiday destination for sun seekers – the few beaches that there are, aren’t terribly attractive, although the nearby island of Porto Santo is proud of its beautiful beach which is popular with sun seekers in the summer.
