Funchal, an isolated holiday destination

Funchal is located on the southern coast of Madeira Island in the Madeira Islands, a Portuguese territory. It is the capital of the Madeira Islands and a prosperous and beautiful city in Portugal. It is also the hometown of the famous football star Cristiano Ronaldo. The scenery here is absolutely beautiful, whether you are strolling in the street garden or on the top of the mountain⛰️the coast, any casual shot is like a beautiful landscape painting, a steady magazine pictorial📷🌼🪸~ Various rare plants and flowers that cannot be named compete for beauty, the average temperature throughout the year is around 20 degrees, the climate is pleasant, it is both pleasing to the eyes and the heart💖💖💖 Let’s start with clothing, the necessities of life. Funchal is the capital of Madeira Island. The island has a constant temperature of over 20 degrees all year round. Even in winter now, the hottest temperature at noon will feel over 25 degrees. It will be slightly cooler when the sea breeze blows in the morning and evening, around 16 or 17 degrees. The ideal outfit is a sweater and jeans with a short-sleeved T-shirt underneath. Of course, girls who love beauty can bring two skirts as a backup. Although the weather here is great, it sometimes rains at the beach, so be sure to bring an umbrella. Then comes food. Let's put it this way, the food content of three meals a day is not much different from that in continental Europe, but the price is more expensive - the same meal here is at least 1.5 times that of mainland Portugal, and is about the same price as a meal in Italy (the prices in mainland Portugal are relatively cheaper than in neighboring countries in continental Europe). This is an island, and many ingredients are airlifted from the mainland, so it is reasonable that they are more expensive. What I want to highlight here are several local specialties. Don’t miss them when you come here. 1. Local specialty passion fruit: passion fruits of different colors have different flavors - lemon, orange, tomato, etc. They are fragrant, delicious and juicy. 2. Poncha (the Portuguese pronunciation is very similar to "Porsche". The first time I heard people talk about drinking Poncha, I thought they meant drinking Porsche. I was really confused for a while), a fruit wine made from passion fruit, honey and rum, with an alcohol content between 16 and 25 degrees. Tips: Be sure to add ice cubes when drinking, the taste is super good! 3. Madeira wine - Three of the top ten wines in the world are from Madeira. I have mentioned it before, so I won’t repeat it.
