Interesting info about Madeira: Portugal is politically and economically stable, Madeira is autonomous and has a conservative government with a strong voice on the mainland. Charter flights from all major airports in the UK arrive Mondays (about 3.5 hrs.) and there are daily flights to Lisbon and Oporto (about 1.5 hrs.). The telecommunication systems on the island are of the latest technology, the fibre cables from the US arrive in Europe via Madeira. Phone links also benefit from satellite connections.The mild climate - all year round, due to the Gulf stream - and the beauty of Madeira’s landscape have always attracted international tourists, tourism is the main economic source for the island, and the kindness of its inhabitants is legendary. Life here is safe and cosmopolitan, and the island is constantly evolving, visible eg. in the increase of mobile phones and the first broad band connection in Portugal. Madeira’s last laurel forest, the biggest in Europe, has been accepted as a UNESCO world heritage, and the inhabitants of Funchal hope that their old town will also be included. |
