Madeira Island, Portugal
The level of brightness and relaxation in Madeira is through the roof. Yet, every town has its own surprises. For example, in Porto Moniz, there are volcanic pools and an old fort with an aquarium. If you want to find out how the Portuguese lived in the 17th century, you can look at the comfortable houses with triangle roofs in Santana.
And if you take a cable car to Funchal, you can visit the impressive tropical garden of the Monte Palace and slide down a hill in a sleigh. And if you want to see a spectacular view, you have to climb the highest peak of Madeira — Pico Ruivo.
