Madeira: Touring - Driving holiday

Madeira is a small island, which means it’s easy to get around by driving, once you get used to the mountain roads and hairpin bends! But Madeira is so small that there really is no need to tour from one place to another, staying overnight. However, if you hire a car while in Madeira on holiday, you might like to stay on the west side of the island for part of your holiday and then drive to the north for the other. Driving a hire car, you will be able to easily explore the more remote areas of the island, such as the Nuns’ Valley, and the high spots such as Pico Areiro.
