Our first port of call was Funchal on the island of Madeira. The first thing to say is that Funchal is a stunning city set on the coast with a backdrop of high mountains.
We started off the day with a visit to the small port of Camara de Lobos. This small fishing village is known for the fact that British prime minister, Winston Churchill used to holiday at this spot. We stopped of for coffee at the Churchill restaurant.
We then moved onto Cabo Girao which stands high on a mountain with dramatic views along the coast.
We returned to Funchal and visited the impressive farmers market and then took the famous cable car high into the hills above the city and enjoyed the incredible views of the city.
We returned back down via the cable car and strolled along Funchal’s sea front promenade.
We finished off our visit with a couple of drinks at The German beer house that sits alongside the marina.
Our visit to Madeira was simply superb.
