Strap on your boots and discover Madeira on foot with the Sunflower Madeira travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours. The Sunflower Madeira guide is indispensable for hiking in Madeira or seeing Madeira by car. This 15th edition was updated just after the authors’ latest trip, but things move fast on this island - so Sunflower’s free Update service with users’ comments makes the guide as up-to-the-minute as possible. The maps are annotated with waypoints, and there are free downloadable GPS tracks for all the walks. While dedicated hikers will revel in the island’s mountainous terrain (Madeira is one of Europe’s top destinations for mountain walks), walking the ‘levada’ paths is one of the most popular activities with visitors. Levadas are watercourses that carry rainfall from the mountains to irrigate the cultivated terraces. Whatever your age or ability we’ve got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable Madeira holiday. Inside the Sunflower Madeira guide book you’ll find:
Whether you tour the island by car or explore on foot, this book – which first introduced levada-walking to a large audience – has been the guide to Madeira’s countryside for more than 35 years. We look forward to showing you around. Quotes "A remarkable paperback that may have done more than any other to change the way its readers spend their holidays… this book single-handedly turned levada-walking into something approaching a craze" The Sunday Times |
