The Portuguese island of Madeira is famed for its gardens and its year-round warm, Mediterranean-style climate. When you embark on a Madeira cruise it will become clear why this destination is known as the Garden Island – it is simply awash with colour from a breathtaking display of sub-tropical plants and flowers. The market town is easy to walk through although the further inland you explore, the steeper and narrower some of the streets become.
The island has a mild climate and its main assets are its legendary flowers and natural beauties.
