Madeira: "the Island of flowers"

(Strelitzia is bird of paradise flower)

 

Madeira (means wood in Portuguese) is a Portuguese island in the Atlantic Ocean, situated about 700 km from the African coast and about 1000 km from Portugal.

Because of many flowers which are growing here, Madeira is often called "the Island of flowers".

 

The Guindaste Viewpoint offers a wonderful view of the Atlantic outlining the northern coast of the island, extending from Faial to Ponta de São Lourenço.
