PORTUGAL ~ MADEIRA ~

... All in one great postcard🙂... many lovely tiny views and map coming from a picturesque island also known as the "pearl of the Atlantic"... a floating garden in the ocean... this subtropical paradise offers exotic wildlife, world-renowned gardens, crystal clear waters, spectacular coastlines and jagged peaks... the waters surrounding Madeira are teeming with marine life, which gives you the chance to see birds, dolphins and 15 different species of whales up close... while the capital Funchal boasts an architectural charm and rich maritime heritage...

The island of Madeira is at the top of a massive shield volcano that rises about 6 km from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean and forms the largest island of the Madeira Archipelago, about 90 km in length. 
The archipelago consists of 1 large and several smaller islands; Madeira, Porto Santo, Deserted and Savage islands. 

Since 1976, the archipelago has been one of the two Autonomous regions of Portugal , the other being the Azores. It is an outermost region of the European Union.
