OST VISITORS CATCH A GLIMPSE OF EASTERN MADEIRA
as they arrive,
flying in over Machico, the island's second biggest town, and driving
from the airport to Funchal along the south coast highway. Away from these
areas, there are wide expanses of untamed nature where no roads go. These
include the whole north coast, with its exhilarating paths and vertigo-inducing
cliffs. Also worth seeking out are the historic whaling village of Caniçal,
the charming town of Santa Cruz and the gentle,
pastoral landscape of the Santo da Serra plateau,
source of the island's wicker products.
