Madeira was uninhabited until the 1420s and grew up as an Atlantic staging post. That history is still visible in the wine trade, the sugar-era architecture of Funchal and the crafts of Camacha and Machico.
Where to go
- Madeira Wine Lodges
Working cellars in central Funchal.
- Camacha wickerwork
The island's basket-weaving village.
