Walking on the ‚flower island’ Madeira
The volcanic island of Madeira situated in the Atlantic is influenced by the trade winds and its special climate, producing a lush floral splendor including strelitzia, hydrangea and tulbaghia. Another characteristic of the island is the ingenious irrigation system. In order to cultivate bananas, grapes and sugar cane on Madeira, the island is crossed by over 2200 kilometres of canals. Their purpose is to irrigate the vegetation – and create marvellous hiking paths. Whilst walking along the so-called ‚Levadas’ you experience Madeira’s colourful flora at close quarters.
