Self catering holidays in Funchal

Funchal is the capital of Madeira and lies on the south coast of the island. It is also a port and huge cruise liners frequently discharge their guests for a day sightseeing on the island. Visitors to Madeira come for the sub-tropical flowers and year round sunshine. Exotic flowers and fruit are on sale in the markets and bird of paradise are among the brilliant coloured flowers that grow in mass profusion on the rocky hillsides. Much of Madeira is mountainous and the terrain offers dramtic views of terraced slopes and dome of the most terrifying cliffs in the world. The entire island is tunneled by a network  of roads to enable fast access from one part of Madeira to another.  Funchal offers visitors a condensed version of the island. There are several gardens and parks where representative flowers can be viewed growing en-masse. Visitors can enjoy pavement cafes, spas, organised day trips and all the amenities that tourism demands.
