Popular places to visit

This was taken on my way to the highest peak in Madeira, a beautiful little Portuguese isalnd near the African coast. I met the most friendliest people here on this isalnd. Madeira is so small that you do not need 1 month to go and see everything there is and elderly people speak very good English too ! #madeira #outdoor #nature #hiking
