Thanks! I hope you have a good scenic road trip
@@thevirtualrelaxation was great thanks - drove past the start of the big fire in Ribeira Brava 😯, but otherwise fairly stress free.
Yes, unfortunately, the fires are quite severe in the south right now. That’s why I’m not a fan of summer here-there’s hardly any rain. Hopefully, the situation improves soon.
Wow 🤯 Madeira is truly magical
Yes!!!
Красивый закат ! На Мадейре так поздно темнеет ?
Да, на Мадейре действительно поздно темнеет. Например, в дни около 21-22 июня, в день летнего солнцестояния, закат может быть до 20:50 (8:50 вечера). Это связано с её географическим положением и длительными летними днями)
Огромное спасибо за прекрасную прогулку по Фуншалу !Всегда с удовольствием смотрю ваши видео 😊❤
Спасибо большое за тёплые слова! Мы рады, что вам понравилась прогулка по Фуншалу. Продолжаем работать над новыми видео и надеемся, что они также будут вам интересны!
Great video(s)!!!! May I ask what stabilisation mode and what camera mounting you are using? It's so smooth, absolutely no wobbles, not even bumps in the road are noticeable! That's really amazing.
Hi, thanks a lot! I use a GoPro, and while I don't remember the exact setting names, I use the maximum stabilization available
Preciosa a minha terra❤
Is the beachfront still under construction?
Yes they are still working on it :)
If the cages more lively and happy, and if we could get one or two artificial sand beaches added further to Madeira in sheltered coves, and not tell anyone. It’ll then be complete. Bar, maybe, wildfire preparations, could always be better. Almost almost perfect. Was always lacking the exotic birds you’d expect from such a situated place
Como eles geram energia elétrica pra essa ilha .
Actualmente a Madeira tem varias fontes de produção de energia electrica. Uma central electrica de combustivel fosil, tem varias centrais hidroeletricas pequenas , tem um campo de turbinas de geradores eolicos e outros de energia solar. Ha muitas casas com paineis fotovoltaicos.
Funchal is not in Europe, the Madeira Islands are Portuguese, but the islands are part of the African continent.
They are on African tectonic plate, but that doesn't really make them African since they're a volcanic hotspot, not connected to any landmass. So they don't really belong to anyone geographically - it is it's own archipelago. But the island belongs to Portugal and is inhabited by Portuguese, and mostly visited by Europeans. That's why it's not wrong to call it either way. Hope this helps
@@thevirtualrelaxation they are African and part of the population are descendants of African Berbers from the Canary Islands and Morocco. The islands also continue some African traditions like the traditional costume, the bolo do caco and the coucous. Besides we mainland are not 100% European as we share some Berber DNA. The islands are officially known as a Outermost Region of the European Union and receive special funding because the islands ARE NOT in Europe and ARE NOT part of Europe, therefore your statement is incorrect. I am Portuguese, I hope this helps.
@@paulocastrogarrido3499 Sir this is not a debate, I am only stating factual information. Both things can be true at the same time. Geographic and Political Status of Madeira: Geographical Location: The Madeira Archipelago, including Funchal, is located in the North Atlantic Ocean. Although it is situated on the African tectonic plate, its geographical isolation as a volcanic hotspot means it is not connected to any other landmass on that plate. Political Affiliation: Madeira is an autonomous region of Portugal. Portugal is a European country, and thus Madeira is politically part of Europe. The region is classified as an "Autonomous Region of Portugal" and is part of the European Union (EU). EU Status: Madeira is classified as an "Outermost Region" of the European Union. This classification acknowledges its geographical distance from mainland Europe but does not change its political and legal status as part of Portugal and thus Europe. Cultural Influences: While the population of Madeira has various cultural influences, including some from Africa due to historical trade and migration, the islands are politically and administratively integrated into Europe. Cultural elements like traditional costumes or cuisine do not alter the political affiliation of the region. Although Madeira is geographically located on the African tectonic plate and has cultural ties influenced by African heritage, its political and administrative status is firmly within Europe. It is part of Portugal and, by extension, the European Union, and thus should be considered a European territory in terms of political and legal affiliation. I wish you a great day!
@@thevirtualrelaxation it confirms I am right, the islands are not in Europe and your title is incorrect.
@@paulocastrogarrido3499 Madeira is politically part of Europe as it is an autonomous region of Portugal, which is a European country. The “Outermost Region” status in the EU acknowledges its geographic distance but does not change its European affiliation. So, the title is not wrong. Funchal is the capital of Madeira, which is an autonomous region of Portugal. Portugal is a European country, so Madeira (and thus Funchal) is part of Europe politically.
Обожаю смотреть пешие прогулки по разным улочкам -закаулочкам в маленьких городах ! Спасибо за ваше внимание к мелочам :мохнатый шмель ,сочные зеленые листья растений... Радость наполняет моё сердце ♥ !!! Как всегда лайк 💯
Спасибо большое за комментарии. Я очень рад что вам видео понравилось всегда приятно почитать ждите новых видео! :)
This is the first walking tour i have seen of the north coast wow just wow thanks😊
I am so glad you enjoyed the video! I have many more videos about the North Coast and more videos to come! :) Thanks for watching!
Nice Funchal....and the greek sirtaki ❤
Thanks a lot for watching!
I am a Korean creator! This video is really cool. Let's follow together!
I rented a hostel here for a few days in November after staying In Funchal for a few days. Been considering cancelling it and staying in Funchal but this made me not want to
North Coast is awesome it's much more relaxing compared to Fucnhal. Porto Da Cruz is relatively close to Funchal. And quick ride for groceries to Machico, enjoy your stay here!
🍻
Huge thanks for the support! I really appreciate it! If you have any ideas how to improve my videos feel free to share them! :) 🍻🙏
@@thevirtualrelaxation I fell in love with the island of Madeira and you are already the best channel I could find on KZread to get an honest insight into the beauty of the island from different angles when it is wet and gray again here in Germany. (Just the true sound of the island without talking is perfekt. Also the car rids are awasom to get a real impression wich car maks most sense to buy or rent for those roads) Keep up your great work, its always like a small holiday, when i watch your videos!

Hello, your channel is very interesting, I like it, but I'm going to make a suggestion. When you name it, I'll give you an example of a beautiful view from Pico dos Barcelos and you expect to see that beautiful view and the only thing you see is when you leave the parking lot...suggestion if not You are going to film it, don't name it...thanks, success
Hi, you mean the time chapter at 19:52? "Amazing view of Funchal from Pico dos Barcelos viewpoint" - you can see Funchal's mountainous city, that's what I meant by it. I know it's not for long but it's still a view from Pico dos Barcelos viewpoint, so people know where they are at the moment Best regards

Nice video! Food looks fantastic. If you can't eat everything, can you take leftovers home there?
Thanks a lot! Yes, you can. I have tried several times, no problem
It really is! Make sure to try the mini bananas and the square, apple-flavored bananas from Mercado dos Lavradores!

At the beginning at 4 sec from the start , " pride of madeira " comes in the view. Please pay attention to it. Give ir some more time and focus on it. I really love to see this blue flower in its natural surroundings . Thank you.
i saw it later ...sorry ..but still give us more of this flower. it is so majestic
@@adamr613 Thanks for your thoughts, the beginning of the video is always an introduction / preview so people know what to expect in the video. Yes I show more of it at 23:07. And yes I will show more details of plants / flowers in the future. Glad you enjoyed the video :)

Thanks so much for the comment! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Keep it hidden, We don't want to be like canary islands & tenerife with too many tourists
That it inevitable unless the politicians do something about it. Luckily north coast is still quite empty of tourists, I can't say that about Funchal / South-West coast...
I like it👍
