My wife and I visited this gorgeous island in fall’ 22 and we can’t wait to go back. We drove all over the island and stayed in Camara de Lobos right on the bay - what a lovely town. One week was definitely not enough.
Brilliant! Easily the BEST overview video I’ve seen of Madeira. 👍🏻 Question: Would you say Funchal is overrun with tourists? It would appear so with all the cruise ship activity. Cheers. 👋🏻
Wow, thank you!!! 🙏🏼 Overrun? To be honest I was out and about around the island so much, I couldn't say. I was in Funchal fairly early in the morning, so it wasn't super busy. People have said that it's packed, and I saw that at the hiking points. It'll get worse in the middle of summer they say.
Awesome vlog Nick! Love Madeira! Hope you enjoyed our home in paradise away from home! We hope that we can add Algarve as our next home in paradise. Cheers!
Caniço, Santa Cruz is my home area. Rea Estate and Rent are going up very quickly. I bought my place less than a year ago and couldn't but it now for the same price. Madeira is beautiful but it would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.
Same here. Bought in Canico Garajau in December for a good price. Have been vacationing in Garajau for years and love it. It feels like home. Hoping to move there permanently in 2.5 years.
Maybe for holidays, Madeira could be a cool place to visit but for living?, I don't think so, i came form the Caribbean and i can yell you, i have seen amazing natural beauties, the island does not surpass it, is a boring place for living, but if boring is what you are looking for, then this is definitely the place for you. And if you have to work in Madeira, well, it will be also a struggle financially, so, even less fun
This was an incredibly helpful video...helped me to orient and understand where the different areas on Madeira are. Thank you for sharing. I've subscribed ⭐
What a seductive voice and mellifluous accent! If you were a news anchor, even the worst of global events would sound a lot less dire. I simply had to subscribe. Hope you will be diving in greater detail into both Funchal and Canico, where I have been property hunting, in your subsequent videos. Canico is great value because of its proximity and good public transport links to Funchal. But I also like Sao Goncalo (best vantage point for the New Year fireworks), Sao Roque and Livramento, which are more affordable than the blatantly touristy and over-developed Sao Martino and also high enough to offer panoramic vistas but not too high like Monte which then suffers from damp and seems ensconced in a perpetual cloud.
Great drone footage to really show us the island and its communities. As we prepare to move to the island this summer, the big picture look at its topography is very helpful - even for folks like us, who are pretty familiar with the island. One minor thing: You said Madalena do Mar (better sunsets than Ponta do Sol, we think) is part of Calheta, but everything else we see (Idealista, etc) places it in Ponta.
Thanks Nick 😊 Having visited all 10 concelhos I leant new things about them as your guide & explanations were most excellent sir! Did you film your outing with Joen from Stay Classy Vlog for a future video? Have an amazing week my friend 🤗
@@AlgarveAddicts Excellent, I can't wait to see it! I recently did a collaboration myself with your fellow South African compatriate, Jeff from Hit The Road Tours Madeira who is also a friend of Joen & Amalie, which can be seen among my recent vlogs. He might be worth getting in touch with for a future event 😊
You've forgotten the CR7 Museum.A place of pilgerimage for all soccer fans/Christiano Ronaldo😮. OK, I forgive you. As an ex South African, you just love the Springboks😂

Wow, the best overview of Madeira I've ever seen! Brilliant job!
Wow, that's a wonderful compliment. I really appreciate it 🙏🏼 Thank you.
Thanks - nice video. Madeira and the Azores are on our travel list.
Wow, thanks guys, that's super cool of you!
This is the most beatiful place I ever seen ! Must be very expensive to live there.
Brilliant! Easily the BEST overview video I’ve seen of Madeira. 👍🏻

Amazing job with this video🎉

Awesome vlog Nick! Love Madeira! Hope you enjoyed our home in paradise away from home! We hope that we can add Algarve as our next home in paradise. Cheers!
Nice, a home in Madeira and one in Algarve. That'll work!
What a great video!
Thanks!
MY PARENTES HOME MADEIRA ISLAND ❤
Great intro for a traveling video
Thanks! I'm glad you noticed it, I was mucking about with the sound design. I love how it came out.

I'm priced out but would love to go on vacation there!
Amazing Video 👍👍👍
Thanks so much! 👍🏼
Porto Santos is missing!
Oh my gosh! Do you think it floated away? 🤣 I didn't manage to visit, but you're right, technically it is the 11th concelho of Madeira.
Maybe for holidays, Madeira could be a cool place to visit but for living?, I don't think so, i came form the Caribbean and i can yell you, i have seen amazing natural beauties, the island does not surpass it, is a boring place for living, but if boring is what you are looking for, then this is definitely the place for you.

Thanks for the visit.
Excellent video!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks 🙏🏼
Beautiful video!!! Thank you! I'm just puzzled as to why Faro airport doesn't have a direct flight to Madeira?
There may be many reasons, but lack of volume could be one.
I love this video, I was born on madeira 😊

Really enjoyable video Nick. Very interesting 😎
Thank you Peter.
Bravo on the editing as well, the GIS special effects were fantastic.
Cheers Christo, I love a good map 😎
Thanks Nick 😊

Have an amazing week my friend 🤗
Thanks! Yes, I filmed a bit with Joen, he did some incredible work with my drone. I'm not sure when I'll release it.

Cheers Rue, Jeff and I emailed but the timing was off.

Haha, I didn't forget it, I've been there before, it just wasnt that relevant in my video 😎👍🏼
