If you like Madeira's crazy natural outdoor pools, the trip to Barreinrinha is definitely worth it.
To do this, leave the old town of Funchal to the west.
Mostly cool and young outdoor pool freaks meet at the outdoor pool.

After a very short night 💤⏰️ and an early flight 🛫, we land in Madeira in the morning. Hardly arrived, we pick up the rental car 🚗 and drive directly to the hotel – leaving enough time to explore Funchal. The capital of Madeira welcomes us with its very own charm: narrow streets full of life 🥳, colorful market stalls, …

Yesterday we "complained" that we would have liked to have had a few clouds in Fanal. Big mistake - today we had them in abundance! It rained all day, the first day that the weather forecast was pretty much right.
Hiking on a rainy day is not the best idea because of the terrain. So we drove to Funchal, where …

July 8, 2024,Madeira: Rundgang Funchal🇵🇹

Funchal is a nice little island capital. I actually imagined the place to be even nicer. Everything can be reached on foot. Monte is a little further up. You can also go by bus or cable car.
