Discovered in the 15th century, Madeira became a port of call for the ships of explorers and merchants sailing to Asia and the Americas.
These sailors brought back many plant cuttings which developed and helped make the island a veritable garden, hence its name, the “Island of Flowers”. From small ports full of charm, where the cuisine is based on fish and seafood, to wild expanses that cover much of the island (the northern coast and volcanic centre in particular). Madeira is a luxury holiday resort, its variety making it popular with all visitors.
