Located off the coast of Portugal, the island of Madeira is lapped by the waters of the Gulf Stream with hot yet comfortable summers and mild warm winters. The island's capital, Funchal has an unmistakable British atmosphere amid its cobbled streets, fishing harbours and wine lodges. Funchal has a wealth of things to do - visit the 15th-century cathedral or explore the islands' landscaped gardens. Although there is no beach, there is a seafront lido and various beaches a short drive away down the coast.
