They sometimes go that time of year and I think it's still warm but not ridiculously so.

I've been to Madeira. It's gorgeous.

Don't bother with tour buses etc, get a taxi driver to give you a tour. You'll see more interesting stuff and it'll probably be cheaper too.

Go to a wine tasting if you can, Madeira wine is pretty potent stuff and they'll keep it coming til you've gone blind.

Also, if you have a spare day, see if you can get on a day boat to Porto Santo. It's the Madeirans' holiday island, perfect beaches and warm seas.

I went when much younger, with my parents and grandmother, so wasn't really aware of the "scene" there

Third holiday so far this year dude

Age has its advantages....near zero mortgage and off to Bournemouth for the weekend morrow

Saying that; gran Caneria was full of German OAP's...so Madeira shouldn't be that bad....gonna get a hire car and rally the tunnels is my idea
