Food & Wine Walking Tour
One of the things which enticed me the most during the food and wine walking tour in Funchal was the amount on offer. The wine was as crisp as the water and the meat as fresh as the ocean, it was all to die for.
During the nine stops, I learnt a lot about the culture in Madeira, including everything there is to know about the wine.
Coral, which was the local beer, was served with Bolo do Caco (traditional bread), Gaiado (small pieces of tuna fish) and pork meat marinated in wine and garlic.
Locals enjoy the traditional Poncha, which is an alcoholic drink used to treat cold-like symptoms, but is also used after dinner to digest food.
And finally, just when I thought I had all the food in Madeira, I tried the black scabbard fillet sandwich with the famous passion fruit Brisa. This was followed by a cup of fennel tea and local cheesecake which was mouthwatering.

Cable car to Monte
Taking a cable car to the top was the perfect way to see the whole of Madeira.
Once I reached the top – where the views were breathtaking – it was finally time for the sledge car experience, something I'd never tried before.
The sledge car was dragged and pushed down the hill by two men in traditional clothing, it was thrilling, yet liberating to experience.

Jeep tour with Adventure Land
Travel through the vineyards, mountains and hills of Madeira during an exciting Jeep tour which shows the scenic views of the south.
I learned all about the fruits that are grown on the island. From bananas to avocados, cherries, grapes, and more.
I drove for four hours, reaching a high point of a mountain then back down again to see the viewing point in Cabo Girão.
From there I drove back to Câmara de Lobos, fully satisfied with the amount of scenery I saw on the south of the island.
