Known as the Hawaii of Europe, this holiday island has it all: incredible wildlife, brilliant food, stunning beaches - the lot.
for the winter, many of us around the country are dreaming of a holiday to get away from the bleakness of the next few months, if only for a while.Usually this involves a bit of winter sun, perhaps a beach, certainly some good food. Well look no further, because this island has been dubbed the ‘Hawaii of Europe’ and it’s a stone’s throw from Ireland.And there’s also a certain famous footballer who hails from the island who you may have heard of.
It’s not just for foodies though, if you like a beach holiday or would rather get up and go for a hike in the mountains, Madeira has you covered.And if you’re a Ronaldo superfan, or are trying to convince someone who is to splurge out on a winter holiday, there’s a dedicated museum for CR7 on the island.And if you’re worried about the weather, don’t be. The island enjoys temperate climate all year long.
As if that weren’t enough, there’s not even a time difference between Madeira and Ireland, so no need to worry about that pesky jet lag after a few days over there.11 months ago
