In this guide, you will find one of the best Levada walks on Madeira Island. You will be walking in a very dense forest, which will give you a bit of the feeling of being on a Jurassic Park movie set (without the dinosaurs of course) 😂😂😂
You will have beautiful waterfalls at the end and if you are brave enough put on your Swimming suit and jump on the 14°c water to refresh yourself from the long walk. 😊
Some of these walks may not be suitable for people with vertigo. Please do your own research before adventuring yourself.

Have you ever seen a sunrise above the clouds or just by the seaside? Any of them I can say they are Magical. So where are the best spots to see the sunrise on Madeira Island?
I will leave here some of the best spots in my opinion to see the sunrise.

​

There are a few companies at the main Marina in Funchal that can provide you with a few hours at the sea for dolphins and whales watching. Also seeing Madeira island from the sea is quite spectacular. It is definitely worth the trip.

One of the most common questions is, "Where can we eat a good Espetada?"
Here I will list my favourite places to eat the traditional Espetada with my family and friends. You will see that all of these places are in Câmara de Lobos parish and is always full of locals because the food is really good and it's where all this traditional food started.

This Guide is about our traditional drink Poncha and where you can drink them.
There are many places you can have our famous Drink Poncha in Madeira. One of my favourite places are Taberna da Poncha in Serra d'agua and in Number 2 in Zona Velha da Cidade in Funchal. Everyone has their own preferences and these are mine. But there are a lot of bars doing them now so it is quite easy to get this drink nowadays. I will add to this guide my 5 top places in case you are very interested.
PS‑ please be responsible and do not drink if you have to drive. 😊
