Situated in the north Atlantic Ocean, Madeira is an archipelago part of Portugal with two inhabited islands: Madeira and Porto Santo.
Madeira
The main island, Madeira, is where the largest city can be found. Funchal is a modern and small city, tourism oriented yet completely organized and without tourist crowds. Gastronomy is amazing in the islands and some of the most amazing dishes one can find include fried corn and tuna steak. Tropical fruit can also be easily found.
Is a great island to explore, specially using the "levadas" walks. "Levadas" are the water channels of an ancestral irrigation system. This can be visited providing amazing views over Madeira's natural beauties

Porto Santo
Porto Santo can be reached by boat (Leão Marinho) and by plane (I have no idea how to fly there), and is the only place where one can have a beach with sand (a 7km beach). I enjoyed every second there, but had the advantage of being with a large group, otherwise other beach and walking there wasn't a lot to do.
