For such a small place (only twice the size of the Isle of Wight), there's lots to do and see in Madeira, and with their new fast road network everywhere is easily accessible. Being a bit of an artist myself I particularly enjoyed seeing where Sir Winston Churchill did his painting in the 1950's, and having the experience of afternoon tea at the hotel he and other notables stayed when visiting the island. The Tropical garden of Monte is a must see in my opinion and finally you'll really enjoy the boat trip out to see the local sealife. We got to see dophins and pilot whales. Overall you'll definitely come back with many memories to treasure.

UTracks organised a great trip on this section of the Camino however the track is poorly signed and even with a good map app, getting lost seemed to be a daily occurrence. The signage is not the responsibility of UTracks but in my view if signage could be improved, it would make for a more enjoyable trip. After Porto, the signage was good.
We had a great time! The hotels picked for us were so great. The breakfast must have been awesome because when i came home weighed the same as when i left and we walked lots. The location of the hotels put us in the middle of the best areas. Very helpful with all our needs. Would book with them again.
