Travel to Madeira islands

Landing at Madeira – breathtaking! The landing strip is very narrow and small aircraft land abruptly and unexpectedly. By the way, pilots must pass a special exam to get permission to fly to Madeira.
Monday. After arrival, we immediately went to inspect the neighborhood. The air is amazing! Flowers everywhere! Very cheerful colors: cute little houses with tiled roofs, beautiful hotels, rocks, palm trees, huge rubber plants and dracaena (we also are growing in pots, small). The ocean is very beautiful – the color ultramarine.
