Madeira: Golfing on the flower island
The beautiful island of Madeira, which still belongs to Portugal, is located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
It is also known as the flower island because of its impressive variety of flowers. Madeira always has a mild, subtropical climate. However, depending on the location and altitude, temperatures and weather conditions can be completely different on the same day. Madeira is an absolute paradise for nature lovers and active travelers such as hikers and bikers. Golfers have the opportunity to play on two 18-hole golf courses. Further golf courses are already being planned on the island.
The capital Funchal is a modern and green city with first-class restaurants, great markets and various sights right by the sea. During the day, the streets are very relaxed, but when night falls, a vibrant and varied nightlife is revealed. The city is also known for its festivals. These include the colorful flower festival, the carnival and the famous New Year's Eve fireworks display, which is the largest in the world according to the Guinness Book of Records.
