Madeira Tours & Accommodation
| Madeira is a Portuguese
archipelago that lies between in the north Atlantic Ocean. It is
one of the Autonomous regions of Portugal, that includes the islands of
Madeira, Porto Santo, the Desertas and the Savage Islands; it is an outermost
region of the European Union.
Madeira was re-discovered
by Portuguese sailors in the service of Infante D. Henrique (Henry the
Navigator) in 1419, and settled after 1420. The archipelago is considered
to be the first territorial discovery of the exploratory period of the
Portuguese Age of Discovery.
Today, it is a popular year-round
resort, noted for its Madeira wine, flowers, and embroidery artisans, as
well for its annual New Years celebrations that feature a spectacular fireworks
show (considered the largest in the world according to the Guinness World
Records). The main harbour in Funchal is an important stopover for commercial
and trans-Atlantic passenger cruises between Europe, the Caribbean and
North America. |
