“An undiscovered gem,” is how one of our recent Stubborn Mule families described their first Madeira family holiday, one of Portugal’s largest island outposts located as near to Africa as to the mainland itself.
People of a certain age might have been coming here for years to enjoy the lovely, almost year-round Mediterranean climate, the scenic beaches, and delicious food and drink (more Madeira, dear?!)
However, given that much of the island boasts stunning mountainous scenery and rugged coastline – the very topography which is central to exciting activities – it’s not surprising that the island is now re-inventing itself as a place for adventurous families with children of every age. And just over a three-and-a-half-hour flight time from the UK, too!
