Went in March. Very clean Very safe No football shirt filth High tea at Reids a must Have a couple of nap places to eat, will have to dig out their name. No football shirt filth? The Madeirans themselves have a rep in Portugal, but not especially savage, more passionate. The tiny island supports 2 top flight Portuguese teams (Maritimo and Nacional). No embarrassing tourist thuggishness though. We stayed at Reid's. It was absolutely mind-blowing. Having**tails in the**tail lounge is an absolute must - it used to be a favourite haunt of the authors and movie stars of the 20s and 30s. Have a meal there if you can too - they have 3 restaurants, and the food was great. Overall it is very quiet though, and in February it might be a bit cold. I'd say it's more an October/April sort of place. |
