22% of Funchal damaged by fire

The news this week showed that 8% of Madeira suffered fire damage and 22% of Funchal was burnt by fire.

A blog reader, and popular name on the German forums (WAUZIH)  sent me a map he has put together showing which parts of Funchal were affected by fire.

 This shows that most of the tourist areas are unaffected especially hotels, and all tourist attractions are running as normal. Some levada walk are closed and you can check these HERE

WAUZIH has sent me another map of the fire damage on the West of the Island. This covers the areas in Ponta do Sol and Calheta zones.

View Points of Madeira

One of my blog readers "Wauzih" from Germany has very kindly shared his list of view points in Madeira, which he has put together on a map, with Google Maps.

A very detailed map, and very handy for anyone visiting the island, so many beautiful view points, perfect for photos. 

More and more visitors are coming to the island, this start to the year has been very busy, and I have noticed many more people around from the same time in the previous 2 years.

If anyone has any more view points to add to this list, please let me know and I will pass them on to Wauzih.

Remember the Portuguese word for View Point is Miradouro.

 If anyone decides to do a tour of all Madeira's view points then it will be great to hear from you and maybe see some photos.
