Fishing the levadas! When you get a bit mindful there is so much to hear, see and experience!! I just tossed the cat in for fun and I think she wanted a fishy snack!!

Madeira is a walker’s paradise. Today we did a 13 km walk to Levada do Caldeirao Verde, and oggled at the 100 m waterfall. Walking the levadas (aqueduct) you are on the contour so it is gentle onWeiterlesen

An easy walk from our hideaway in Sao Vincente to The Fado Museum. Along the way I loved the graffiti. Fado, means Fate, and the melancholic singing is loosely captured by the Portuguese word saudade,Weiterlesen

Calouste Gulbenkian an oil magnate (1869-1955) was a passionate art collector, but with an eye only for the best. The displays cover a vast period and have a broad geographical spread. It’s bestWeiterlesen

Such attention to detail. Love your favourites and I’d add the Ghirlandaio’s, ‘Portrait of a Young Woman’. And how about the museum itself! I was bewitched by the gift shop as well.
