RE: Magical Madeira: Funchal from bird´s eye view

in Photography Lovers2 years ago

Really? I asked out tour guide about it and he said you just need to figure out a boat that will take you there and make sure to leave before the sunset as it´s forbidden to stay there overnight. There is actually just one person living there permanently and that´s the guardian of the island... Sounds like an amazing job btw :)

Sort:  

I researched, and was confusing those islands with Selvagens, other islands also nearby that can only be visited for scientific purposes. So many desert islands, can't keep up! :))) Sorry for misleading you, here's a !BEER

No problem, thanks for the explanation. I heard of those too. But I think they are more often referred to as the Savage Islands. They are actually closer to the Canaries but belong to Madeira. Yeah, so many amazing volcanic islands to be explored in the North Atlantic :)

They probably are, selvagens is the portuguese word for savages! ;) Cheers! BEER

I thought so :) Cheers!
