Title: Madeira
Post by: Véronique Macrelle on February 24, 2019, 06:19:58 AM: Madeira

we are leaving a week in Madeira in the month of April.
I wish to make several naturalistic hikes, to observe the plants especially.
What are the places not to be missed?

Hi David,

I did a search using "Madeira" and did not come up with anything. ??? :(

Maybe there is a way to refine the search?

I tried other topics with search with good results.

Ah! I tried the search again with excellent results. Most likely a spelling error on my part. :-[

As I said in my previous post if you do a Forum search on 'Madeira' you will find all manner of goodies related to Madeira
