Light Blue Travel presents Madeira & The Azores, a brochure dedicated to one of the Atlantic's most enchanting destinations. Affectionately known as the "Jewel in the Atlantic" or the "Floating Garden", Madeira is an unspoilt oasis enjoying a year-round sub-tropical climate less than five hours' flying time from the UK.
The British have been regular visitors to Madeira for over 300 years. In the last century in particular, wealthy Victorians chose the island as their favourite retreat to escape cold, damp winters. They fell in love with the warmth, natural beauty and the Madeiran people, and not much has changed since.
This isolated island lies 400 miles from the Moroccan coast and measures just 35 miles long and 14 miles wide. It is made up of jagged volcanic mountains that soar above the clouds to 6,000 feet, with much of the island covered in forest and protected as national parkland.
Once an important stepping stone for the New World trade routes, Madeira is home to a wealth of exotic plants flourishing in the warm gulf-stream climate.
The high-quality accommodation, Madeiran service and hospitality, along with the island's natural beauty, combine to make Madeira the ideal holiday choice for couples and families alike.
