Madeira Guidebooks
The Rough Guide to Madeira By Matthew Hancock Madeira is the island that Portuguese tourism forgot. Almost completely covered with virgin forest (madeira literally means 'wood' in Portuguese), Madeira is home to many rural communities without electricity, and the island balances inclusion in the hyper-modern European Union with Madeira's traditional culture. Madeira is one of the cheapest and least-trekked places to vacation in Europe, just slightly more expensive the Portugal itself, and this Madeira travel guide shows Madeira visitors where to find anything from the best English tea (the British once dominated Madeira's lucrative wine trade) to the best hotels, restaurants and points of interest in Madeira's five-century-old capital, Funchal, to the simplicities of São Lourenço, one of the most undeveloped spots on Earth.
Walking in Madeira By Paddy Dillon Preserved natural beauties, sheer cliffs and colorfully diverse scenery and a gentle semitropical climate combine to make Portugal's Madeira a walker's paradise. In fact, with nearly two thirds of Madeira preserved as National Park land, Madeira will most likely remain an excellent and scenic walking destination for the future. Madeira is particularly well-known for its levada walks, over 2500 kilometers of trailways paralleling ancient and modern irrigation canals (levada means 'canal' in Portuguese and they redirect water from the moister north to the drier south), that offer vistas and outdoor activities inaccesible by car. This speciality Madeira travel guide highlights the best levada walks for every region of Madeira, offering itineraries and historical references for Madeira visitors.
