MADEIRA ISLAND
Four times I have visited this paradise as I was working during three years for the Madeira Tourism Organization (www.visitmadeira.pt), organizing trips and learning as much as possible about information, advices and recommendations. All these personal and proffesional experience make me feel an expert of Madeira Island. Every time I was discovering the island I always felt surprised. Madeira was awarded several years as «The Best Island of the World», for many derserved reasons. By flying from Europe is a naer destination which doesnt have any comparison in terms of conditions and tourism offer. Such a unique spot in the world which has to be visited at least once in life. And once you visited it, you will want to come back, 100% guaranteed.
