Funchal Madeira the capital of Madeira situated 978 km from Lisbon and 600 km from the coast of Morocco. Located about 443 km from the Canary Islands. It has a pleasant climate all year round and summer comes early the gardens flourish with exotic blossoms. The nightlife is very color-full with trendy pavement cafes and bars offering live-music. You can travel to and from the islands by sea or by air. Madeira International Airport is located in Santa Cruz and is 20 minutes from Funchal. Because cruise ships frequently visit the port it serves as a doorway to the island as well as a departure point to other destinations.
It is a delightful town situated on an impressive bay against a background of green mountains with long and twisting cobbled streets. That meander amid graceful colonial-style buildings nestling into the shelter of the hillside. The historic center of the town overlooks the port and features some old government buildings and stately 18th-century mansions. Its natural port attracted early settlers in the 15th century. Much of the island is assigned as a conservation area where rare flowers cover the island like a green blanket. With the likes of (Orchids) (bougainvillea) (lilies) (hydrangeas) (magnolias) and azaleas that bloom naturally all through the year a delight the eye at every turn.
