The Pearl of the Atlantic - Madeira

>> Saturday 28 November 2009

Madeira is a Portugese Island located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It is located about 1000 km southwest of its capital, Lisbon. In fact, Madeira is closer to Morocco than Portugal itself.


Madeira was discovered between 1418 to 1420.

Madeira is pretty unique due to its geographical location. They do have both Tropical weather and winter as well.

Just a quick post as I don't intend to write much, but I am sure most of you would rather look at photos than reading.

Anyway, just got back to UK yesterday, still rather exhausted so will try to enjoy a little bit more before Monday comes.
