Here are some great photos of Madeira. Madeira island lies in the east Atlantic and the nearest mainland is Morocco which is around 600 km away. Madeira island was created by volcanic eruptions and because of this, volcanic peaks are a major feature of Madeira. The climate in Madeira is sub-tropical and therefore the southern side of Madeira is sunny for much of the year and it enjoys warm winters too. The capital of Madeira island is Funchal which is where most of the best hotels, restaraunts and shops are to be found and around a third of Madeira's population live there.
