						| Capital of Madeira, but just a tiny town. The place has atmosphere, but is extremely crowded in tourist season. And Madeira is a nice island, but not exactly somewhere one goes for adventure. |  
						| 
 |  
						| Favourite spots: |  
						| I don't have any. There were no spots here which stood out as exceptional in any way. |  
						| 
 |  
						| What's really great: |  
						| Madeira has sunshine and beautiful nature, and some of the mountain valleys surrounding Funchal are very cute, busrides up there spectacular. |  
						| 
 |  
						| Accommodations: |  
						| Went on a cheapie charter tour, hotel was lousy but fair enough for the price. Would prefer staying in central Funchal instead of the tourist strip west of town if ever going again. |  
						| 
 |  
						| Restaurants: |  
						| Lots of them - hard to find really good ones, as they're pretty much all aimed at growing tourism. |
