We meet the whole group at the airport. We will spend all our nights in the main city of the island, Funchal. We check into the apartments, leave the luggage and go to explore the city.

Funchal has an ancient history, it is a city with beautiful old palaces, authentic streets, and picturesque gardens. We will have time to slowly explore the city, and try to understand its rhythm and soul.

We will definitely look at the local Mercado dos Lavradores market, where all the products of the island are sold, from a wide variety of fruits to seafood, such as black swordfish. Then we will walk along the most unusual street of the city - Santa Maria looks more like a huge open-air art gallery, where almost every wall, door, window is an object of art.

We will gradually discover Funchal, every day noticing new features and details.

In the evening we will go to meet the sunset at the Cabo Girao viewpoint.
We will have dinner at one of the local restaurants, and will discuss upcoming plans :)

Being in Madeira and not passing over the ocean is not right. Get ready for a bright and active walk, we will see a lot of beauty, and we will feel like real locals: we will pass part of the ancient trail where vines used to be delivered before the network of tunnels was built on the island.
