uninhabited island in the North Atlantic, around 500 miles off the African coast, they were awed by the dense covering of greenery. Even today, after 600 years of human encroachment, their amazement is easy to understand. The variety of flora is astounding: groves of local mahogany, bushy strands of indigenous lily of the valley, and a laurel forest, the largest surviving relic of the vegetation that covered much of southern Europe at least 15 million years ago. Those first men who arrived on the island called it Madeira — the Portuguese word for wood. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_2-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_3-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> But those 15th-century sailors were perhaps indifferent to what struck me most forcibly when I first visited: the insistent presence of the ocean.

But at ground level, strolling along sidewalks decorated with traditional cream-and-black mosaics, I was still distracted by gaps between buildings that offered shifting glints of blue.

As our hiking guide, Otilia "Tilly" Câmara, put it, "Madeira was born from the sea." </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_12-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_13-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> We were high in the hills at the time: Câmara was leading us on a glorious hike along one of the levadas<em>,</em> the man-made irrigation channels that direct water from the forested mountains in the north and west to the dry southern slopes. It was so peaceful, walking alongside this small, orderly stream, framed by walnut, apple, and pear trees. We passed an older woman in a headscarf, who carried a pail of leaves to use as mulch, and felt terribly remote until we realized the closest village was just a two minutes' walk away. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_14-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_15-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block travelandleisure-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-landscape figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:66.6%;"> <img data-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/WUfLQ8er2YEsVphcYZs2g6Z370U=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/funchal-market-sledge-cars-MADEIRA1021-1bd2f06b9cc24185803e9043f753c73f.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" data-srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/o-9pAlpgHmzdL1VXVxAVrEppBgM=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/funchal-market-sledge-cars-MADEIRA1021-1bd2f06b9cc24185803e9043f753c73f.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="Photos from Madeira, including fruits for sale at the market, and the island's icon manpowered sledge cars" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" data-hi-res-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/WUfLQ8er2YEsVphcYZs2g6Z370U=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/funchal-market-sledge-cars-MADEIRA1021-1bd2f06b9cc24185803e9043f753c73f.jpg" id=mntl-sc-block-image_2-0 data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="true" data-click-tracked="true" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/WUfLQ8er2YEsVphcYZs2g6Z370U=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/funchal-market-sledge-cars-MADEIRA1021-1bd2f06b9cc24185803e9043f753c73f.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/o-9pAlpgHmzdL1VXVxAVrEppBgM=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/funchal-market-sledge-cars-MADEIRA1021-1bd2f06b9cc24185803e9043f753c73f.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="Photos from Madeira, including fruits for sale at the market, and the island's icon manpowered sledge cars" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_2-0" class="comp mntl-figure-caption type--mouse figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-text">From left: A fruit stall at the Mercado dos Lavradores, in Funchal; attendants guide a sledge-car descent from Monte Palace Madeira.</span> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner">Rodrigo Cardoso</span> </figcaption></figure> <p id="mntl-sc-block_16-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> For centuries, right up until the advent of air travel, almost everyone stopped in Madeira. Columbus briefly lived on the island. Captain Cook paused for supplies, sailed on to Rio de Janeiro and Tierra del Fuego, and wound up planting a British flag in eastern Australia. On the way to America and the West Indies, traders and explorers bought barrels of Madeira wine and discovered that it doesn't just survive an ocean voyage: it improves. The acidity endures, the nutty, caramel flavors deepen. In an era when wine that traveled usually arrived as vinegar, this was incredible.

He casually opened a 2002 Sercial, made from one of the five Madeira grape varieties. It wasn't sweet, although there were toffee and stewed-apple flavors, as well as a lemony acidity. It also wasn't old. Unlike other wines, Madeira lasts almost indefinitely. There are surviving Madeiras — rich, bittersweet, utterly drinkable — that were made around the time John Blandy arrived from England to found the winery that still bears his name. And that was in 1811. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_22-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_23-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Perhaps I was sentimental, but the whole of Madeira seemed to have a versatility, a willingness to consider different ways of doing things, that might be a legacy of the inhabitants' historic reliance on visitors. There were the venerable and modern styles of wine; hotels like Quinta da Casa Branca built in repurposed quintas<em>,</em> or manor houses, and ultra-contemporary resorts like Les Suites at the Cliff Bay. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_24-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_25-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> At Casa de Pasto das Eiras, an unprepossessing shed in the hills east of Funchal, I tried espetadas<em>,</em> skewers of tender beef grilled on an open fire, then hung on metal hooks at each plate. This was quite the contrast with the modern dishes at Kampo, a seriously hip Funchal restaurant with an open kitchen and a poured-concrete bar. We ate sophisticated versions of Portuguese specialties such as a savory bola de Berlim doughnut, which is usually sweet but is here filled with chorizo and mushroom and topped with powdered sugar. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_26-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_27-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block travelandleisure-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-landscape figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:66.6%;"> <img data-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/8pKLaMx-r0xazkKsTNgHZGE6KNA=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/kampo-restaurant-MADEIRA1021-63e24d7e252c4aa2b5d443ee04151b07.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" data-srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/qUA5b8gJfdr5o82Y7b874ixCw-4=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/kampo-restaurant-MADEIRA1021-63e24d7e252c4aa2b5d443ee04151b07.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="Chef preparing tuna at Kampo restaurant in Madeira" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" data-hi-res-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/8pKLaMx-r0xazkKsTNgHZGE6KNA=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/kampo-restaurant-MADEIRA1021-63e24d7e252c4aa2b5d443ee04151b07.jpg" id=mntl-sc-block-image_4-0 data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="true" data-click-tracked="true" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/8pKLaMx-r0xazkKsTNgHZGE6KNA=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/kampo-restaurant-MADEIRA1021-63e24d7e252c4aa2b5d443ee04151b07.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/qUA5b8gJfdr5o82Y7b874ixCw-4=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/kampo-restaurant-MADEIRA1021-63e24d7e252c4aa2b5d443ee04151b07.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="Chef preparing tuna at Kampo restaurant in Madeira" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_4-0" class="comp mntl-figure-caption type--mouse figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-text">A chef prepares braised tuna with razor clam risotto at Kampo restaurant.</span> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner">Rodrigo Cardoso</span> </figcaption></figure> <div id="mntl-sc-block_28-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-digiohembed"> <div id="lightbox-inline-form-763a2b8b-d359-4bd5-ac29-411e30709577" class="mntl-sc-block-digiohembed__container" data-guid="lightbox-inline-form-763a2b8b-d359-4bd5-ac29-411e30709577" data-title="Which European City Should You Visit Next?" > </div> </div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_29-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_30-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> From the city, we glided by <a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/attractions/madeira-portugal-cable-car-hidden-garden-party" data-component="link" data-source="inlineLink" data-type="internalLink" data-ordinal="1">cable car</a> into the hills, above terraces of the tiny, sweet local bananas, above flights of precipitous stairs leading to whitewashed, orange-roofed houses, whose residents must have excellent thigh muscles from all that climbing.

Two men wearing straw boaters and thick-soled shoes ushered Craig and me into an upholstered wicker basket. <em>Why the thick soles?</em> I wondered, as each attendant grabbed a rope attached to our conveyance and ran ahead down a sharply sloping road that had been worn glass-smooth from previous journeys. As we picked up speed, the two jumped on the back like old-fashioned footmen, and I got my answer: those shoes were our only brakes. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_38-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_39-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> There was no dedicated path: cars had to stop for us, but there were few.

One morning, atop Pico do Arieiro, the island's third-highest peak, we watched the sun break through a glowing white haze just below us.

In the 16th century, they covered the ceiling in paintings to honor him. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_58-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_59-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block travelandleisure-sc-block-inlinevideo mntl-sc-block-inlinevideo mntl-block has-details"><div id="mntl-sc-block-inlinevideo__video-container_1-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block-inlinevideo__video-container mntl-block" style="--aspectRatioPaddingBottom: 56.25%"><div id="mntl-sc-block-inlinevideo__video_1-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block-inlinevideo__video mntl-jwplayer mm-video lazyload aspectratio-16:9 aspectratio-16:9" data-bgset="https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/BGFBhPGo/poster.jpg?width=720" data-sizes="auto"> <video class="mntl-jwplayer__video lazyload" preload="none" data-poster="https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/BGFBhPGo/poster.jpg?width=720"></video> <div class="mntl-jwplayer-playbtn__placeholder"> <button class="mntl-jwplayer-playbtn__placeholder-icon--waiting" aria-label="Play Video"></button> </div> </div></div> <h3 id="mntl-sc-block-inlinevideo__title_1-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block-inlinevideo__title mntl-text-block">Among the Beaches, Portugal's Wine Region Shines</h3></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_60-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_61-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> This humble building was a stark contrast to the imposing Funchal Cathedral, built from dark-red volcanic rock that had been dragged down the coast from Cabo Girão, the island's highest sea cliff. It's a stunning profusion of tile, marble, paint, and gold leaf; not an inch of its interior is undecorated. Begun in the 1490s, it radiates the wealth and pride of an island that was the greatest sugar producer in the world — at least until the Portuguese realized that the cane used to produce their "white gold" would grow much better in their newest colonial outpost, Brazil. This economic disaster forced Madeira to refocus on wine, leaving just enough sugarcane to make agricultural rum, the basis of a weapons-grade drink called poncha<em>.</em> </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_62-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_63-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block travelandleisure-sc-block-featuredlink mntl-block"><div id="mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link_1-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link--related"><a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/travel-tips/basic-portuguese-words-phrases-for-travel" rel="nocaes" id="mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link__link_1-0" class="mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link__link mntl-text-link type--cat-link" data-tracking-container="true" data-tracking-id="featured-link" ><span class="link__wrapper">Common Portuguese Phrases and Words for Your Next Trip to Brazil or Portugal</span></a> </div></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_64-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_65-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> The best places to brave this concoction are the tiny drinking dens that crowd the narrow streets of Câmara de Lobos, a fishing village. In Bar Number Two, there's barely room to stand at the counter, but it's worth doing to see owner Elmano Reis pound rum with sugarcane honey and juice from giant local lemons, the muscle in his forearm jumping in rhythm as he thumped and twirled the mexilhote<em>,</em> or wooden baton. His measures would have quenched the thirst of a desert wanderer, if this had been water — which, at 100 proof, it certainly wasn't. The taste was dangerously pleasant. "We drink this in winter when we have a cold," my guide, Célia Mendonça, said. Certainly honey and lemon is a universal remedy, but I wondered whether this potion cured sufferers or finished them off entirely. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_66-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_67-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block travelandleisure-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-landscape figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:66.6%;"> <img data-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/edwdiwt6R8vrdwyORMtRMwhYBgg=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/les-suites-cliff-bay-MADEIRA1021-981e41f2284f42a1afad3667d5c8d4a8.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" data-srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/gEI4UuH9Zt65u9SoaRh2mry986o=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/les-suites-cliff-bay-MADEIRA1021-981e41f2284f42a1afad3667d5c8d4a8.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="A guest suite at Les Suite at The Cliff Bay, in Madeira" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" data-hi-res-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/edwdiwt6R8vrdwyORMtRMwhYBgg=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/les-suites-cliff-bay-MADEIRA1021-981e41f2284f42a1afad3667d5c8d4a8.jpg" id=mntl-sc-block-image_8-0 data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="true" data-click-tracked="true" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/edwdiwt6R8vrdwyORMtRMwhYBgg=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/les-suites-cliff-bay-MADEIRA1021-981e41f2284f42a1afad3667d5c8d4a8.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/gEI4UuH9Zt65u9SoaRh2mry986o=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/les-suites-cliff-bay-MADEIRA1021-981e41f2284f42a1afad3667d5c8d4a8.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="A guest suite at Les Suite at The Cliff Bay, in Madeira" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_8-0" class="comp mntl-figure-caption type--mouse figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-text">A guest suite at Les Suite at The Cliff Bay, in Madeira.</span> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner">Rodrigo Cardoso</span> </figcaption></figure> <p id="mntl-sc-block_68-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> Drinks in hand, we edged out the back door into dazzling sunshine. Patrons of neighboring bars relaxed at tables and fishing boats bobbed in front of us. No wonder that when Winston Churchill visited the island, he went there to paint. He stayed at Reid's Palace, an enormous pink hotel on a cliff, designed with its most magnificent side facing the sea. Now managed by Belmond, the property was built in 1891 to bedazzle the wealthy foreigners who, until the 1960s, all arrived by ship — and were then carried to the hotel in hammocks. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_69-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_70-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> This service has long since been discontinued, but Reid's, with its grand pianos and chandeliers, its cream tea on the elegant checkered balcony looking out through lush tropical gardens toward the water, is still a bastion of historic gentility. Churchill must surely have felt at home; George Bernard Shaw, being Irish, possibly less so, although he did take tango lessons. ("Shaw Admits Learning the Tango at Madeira, but Has Neither Time nor Youth for It Now" ran a headline in <em>The</em> <em>New York Times</em> in 1926.) </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_71-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_72-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block travelandleisure-sc-block-featuredlink mntl-block"><div id="mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link_2-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link--related"><a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/best-resorts-in-spain-and-portugal-2023-7547049" rel="nocaes" id="mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link__link_2-0" class="mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link__link mntl-text-link type--cat-link" data-tracking-container="true" data-tracking-id="featured-link" ><span class="link__wrapper">T+L Readers' Favorite Resorts in Spain and Portugal of 2023</span></a> </div></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_73-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_74-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> We took a look at the other end of the rum-making process, too, at Engenhos do Norte, the only producer still using steam power to press and distill the sugarcane, in a vast shed full of copper containers and 19th-century machinery. The metal was all painted bright blue, the same color as the dye used to mark the patterns on the material in another traditional island industry, embroidery. Perhaps it was a coincidence. Or perhaps, Madeirans working indoors, whether on gargantuan machines or on delicate stitching in the Bordal embroidery workshop, crave a reminder that the sea is just outside. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_75-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_76-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block travelandleisure-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-landscape figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:66.6%;"> <img data-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/Y3FQtEF0optCzoiM_nH088Tmp4Y=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/barbusano-winery-babosas-plate-MADEIRA1021-94477a33bf4043259792f2352396b255.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" data-srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/p61HMju_O4pJMihZ4F_vLejIIns=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/barbusano-winery-babosas-plate-MADEIRA1021-94477a33bf4043259792f2352396b255.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="photos from Madeira, including an outdoor wine tasting, and a banana dish" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" data-hi-res-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/Y3FQtEF0optCzoiM_nH088Tmp4Y=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/barbusano-winery-babosas-plate-MADEIRA1021-94477a33bf4043259792f2352396b255.jpg" id=mntl-sc-block-image_9-0 data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="true" data-click-tracked="true" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/Y3FQtEF0optCzoiM_nH088Tmp4Y=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/barbusano-winery-babosas-plate-MADEIRA1021-94477a33bf4043259792f2352396b255.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/p61HMju_O4pJMihZ4F_vLejIIns=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/barbusano-winery-babosas-plate-MADEIRA1021-94477a33bf4043259792f2352396b255.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="photos from Madeira, including an outdoor wine tasting, and a banana dish" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_9-0" class="comp mntl-figure-caption type--mouse figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-text">From left: The patio at Quinta do Barbusano winery; scabbard fish with banana and potato salad at Pátio das Babosas.</span> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner">Rodrigo Cardoso</span> </figcaption></figure> <p id="mntl-sc-block_77-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> "Hello gorgeous!" whispered Margarida Sousa, as the first dolphin glided alongside our motorboat. We had already marveled at a glossy dark arc that Sousa, who studied marine biology, informed us was the back of a Bryde's whale, probably around 40 feet long. Tracking the animals is forbidden, so two people on separate cliffs scanned the water and called to inform the skipper where to head. "If the phone rings a lot, it's a good sign!" she explained. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_78-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_79-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> The phone rang a lot. When the dolphins flanked us, we slid into the water, dangling from ropes to minimize splashing. I dipped my head into a quiet turquoise world where the beaked inhabitants seemed to smile encouragingly, their eyes outlined in black, Cleopatra-style. A mother nuzzled her baby; their playmates, black and white with a patch of yellow, dipped and rose. We wore masks but no snorkels, and I was so absorbed that remembering to breathe became a nuisance. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_80-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <figure id="mntl-sc-block_81-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block travelandleisure-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-universal-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme mntl-sc-block-image figure-landscape figure-high-res"> <div class="figure-media"> <div class="img-placeholder" style="padding-bottom:66.6%;"> <img data-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/fNgFcV9ZvPmW-tv0MGomvtasKns=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/dolphins-galaxia-MADEIRA1021-97e6fb8b2e15403a8e88c678441938cc.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" data-srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/ooaNY3qU1iu3vR52eToK4K6YUe0=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/dolphins-galaxia-MADEIRA1021-97e6fb8b2e15403a8e88c678441938cc.jpg 750w" data-sizes="750px" alt="Dolphins swim off the coast of Madeira" class="lazyload universal-image__image" data-expand="300" data-hi-res-src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/fNgFcV9ZvPmW-tv0MGomvtasKns=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/dolphins-galaxia-MADEIRA1021-97e6fb8b2e15403a8e88c678441938cc.jpg" id=mntl-sc-block-image_10-0 data-tracking-container="true" data-img-lightbox="true" data-click-tracked="true" /> <noscript> <img src="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/fNgFcV9ZvPmW-tv0MGomvtasKns=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/dolphins-galaxia-MADEIRA1021-97e6fb8b2e15403a8e88c678441938cc.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" class="img--noscript universal-image__image" srcset="https://www.travelandleisure.com/thmb/ooaNY3qU1iu3vR52eToK4K6YUe0=/750x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/dolphins-galaxia-MADEIRA1021-97e6fb8b2e15403a8e88c678441938cc.jpg 750w" sizes="750px" alt="Dolphins swim off the coast of Madeira" /> </noscript> </div> </div> <figcaption id="mntl-figure-caption_10-0" class="comp mntl-figure-caption type--mouse figure-article-caption"> <span class="figure-article-caption-text">From left: dolphins off the coast of Funchal; cozido panela tacos with dijon at Galaxia Skyfood restaurant at the Savoy Palace.</span> <span class="figure-article-caption-owner">Rodrigo Cardoso</span> </figcaption></figure> <p id="mntl-sc-block_82-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> After reluctantly returning to shore, we spent the afternoon at Fajã dos Padres, an organic farm with a simple waterside restaurant below the towering Cabo Girão. We took comfort in a lovely lunch — black scabbard fish, a local specialty; lapas harvested on the rocks outside; and vegetables from owner Catarina Vilhena Correia's garden. We had already tried one highly unusual product of this place: a deliciously citrusy 1993 Frasqueira, a single-vintage Madeira that must be aged for at least 20 years. This version was made from an ancient variety of the Malvasia grape, thought lost until a vine was spotted on Correia's property. </p> <div id="mntl-sc-block_83-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_84-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block travelandleisure-sc-block-featuredlink mntl-block"><div id="mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link_3-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link--related"><a href="https://www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/beach-vacations/porto-covo-alentejo-portugal" rel="nocaes" id="mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link__link_3-0" class="mntl-sc-block-universal-featured-link__link mntl-text-link type--cat-link" data-tracking-container="true" data-tracking-id="featured-link" ><span class="link__wrapper">Portugal Is Booming — but in This Tiny Seaside Town, Life Moves as Slowly as Ever</span></a> </div></div> <div id="mntl-sc-block_85-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-adslot mntl-block"></div> <p id="mntl-sc-block_86-0" class="comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html"> The next day we drove to Porto Moniz, on the island's northwestern tip, where torrents of seawater poured thrillingly into pools hollowed out of the black volcanic rock.
