Funchal (Madeira)

An absolute treat! Carlos is a native of Madeira, and knew the nooks and crannies. It was his delight to take us hither and thither, from farm areas to exquisite landscapes. His knowledge was boundless: tourist attractions, hikes, farming, education, history, myths, and more, all expressed with passion and interest. We enjoyed Madeira wine and learned about the 5 types; aspired to a sunrise hike for younger visitors; learned about Portugal's oceans and why the octopus is so available. A total joy. Thank you!!
