Thanks for this post!My grandfather's family came from Madeira, so it's nice to see a post that so nicely shows the beauty and topography of the place. Thanks for making such a detailed and descriptive post...

Re: Once againHehe, don't know about songs but no wonder you want to visit the place. A nice little island covered in mountains. No flat aea below 1400m. And this time we only visited the southern half. North face shadows in winter was not what we went there for ;-)
