  • Trip Report - Madeira 13-27 August 2003 by Magnus Unger
    Trip report - Madeira 13-27 August 2003 By Magnus Unger Travel info I and my girlfriend booked our trip via the Swedish travel agency Fritidsresor. The first week we stayed at Hotel Luamar at the western part of Porto Santo and for the second week we had rented a car and stayed at Hotel Gorgulho in the western part of Funchal close to Lido. The car was a Volkswagen Polo with only 1.2 litre engine so most of the time I had to drive on gear 1-3, while the gear 4 and 5 was almost only used on the motorway between Ribeira Brava and Machico. The second week we drove 930 kilometres and fuelled the car with 77 litres, so despite the non-economic driving the car used less than one litre per 10 km. Day by day report 13 August The flight from Stockholm arrived at Madeira 13:00, then flight to Porto Santo. In the evening I took a walk up in the mountains west of Ponta towards Pico das Flores. Here at a 3-way crossing near the Miradouro das Flores I saw a couple of Rock Sparrows. 14 August A morning walk before breakfast to Ponta da Calheta where I saw the first Cory’s Shearwaters for the trip. After breakfast we walked to the centre and up to the Tanque pond where I found a Little Stint and a Gargany, probably the first for Madeira. In the afternoon relaxing and bathing in the sea. 15 August At Ponta da Calheta before breakfast I saw my first Fea’s/Zino’s Petrel although it was distant the black underwing showed well.

  • Holiday on Madeira 7.-14.2. 2004
    M A D E I R A 7.–14.2.2004 Heikki & Sinikka Karhu We spent a pleasant Funchal-based package holiday week in Madeira, mainly relaxing ourselves, flower-watching and hiking, but also doing some man- and birdwatching. On four days we used a rent-a-car, and briefly visited some of the key birding areas: Ribeiro Frio (saw Trocaz Pigeon at 2nd try), Machico (Common Waxbills), Porto Moniz (Little Shearwater) and Cap Sao Lourenco. Most of the time was spent idling in Funchal. A Roseate Tern was the higlight in the Harbour there. Weather: The weather was sunny and warm, in Funchal early morning temperature +15, afternoons +20–25 C. In mountains not that warm, but not very cold either. Warm clothing was important up there, anyway. No rain, exceptionally? Driving: Driving was relatively easy and the new motorway along South Coast, the tunnel between Ribeira Brava and Sao Vicente (South and North Coast) and the tunnels between Faial and Machico (NE part of the island) make moving in these areas fast. Between Sao Vicente and Porto Moniz there are new tunnels under construction. Driving took time, but the distances were surprisingly short and we had to fill the tank just once, at Machico 95E Gasoline cost 96 c/l. Parking in Funchal center: Our hotel Do Centro was situated in Funchal center. Ideal base for human-watching, a cheap hypermarket next door, but no parking places for the car. A night in a nearby P-house cost 6-10 euro. Maps: The maps we found, could be better for driving.
