About Madeira:
Madeira, otherwise known as ‘the islands of eternal spring’ is just a short flight from most European cities.
It is 741 square km in size and has a population of 254K. On the same latitude as Morocco, the Atlantic archipelago has a sub-tropical climate and rich volcanic soil. Madeira has a unique eco-system and is one of the only places in the planet where banana trees grow next to vineyards.
In 1999 the archipelago was named A UNESCO World Heritage Site and five areas have been declared nature reserves. The Madeira Nature Reserve covers a substantial 77% of the main island, where development is prohibited.
