The AA travel guide “Essential Madeira” (2001) says:
“Landscape and climate combine on Madeira to create an island of all-year-round appeal. In winter, while northern Europe shivers, southerly Madeira is basking in balmly sunshine. In summer, whilst searing heat turns much of southern Europe arid, the island remains a green semi-tropical paradise. The air heavy with the scent of flowers To travel around Madeira is to encounter breathtaking views at every turn, whether sheer rock cliffs battered by Atlantic waves, burnt volcanic rocks lit gold by the setting sun, or valleys carved into tiny fields, forming a patchwork of stepped terraces.” (pg. 8)
