Madeira, Sunflower Walking Guide (15th ed. Feb 2024)

The go-to Madeira travel guide for over 30 years. Strap on your boots and discover Madeira on foot with the Sunflower Madeira travel guide. And on the days when your feet may have had enough, enjoy some spectacular scenery on one of our legendary car tours. The Sunflower Madeira guide is indispensable for hiking in Madeira or seeing Madeira by car. Not only has this 14th edition been updated to take into account treks recently out of bounds for one reason or another, but the format of the book has been expanded with larger type and a wider layout. The maps have been annotated with waypoints, and there are free downloadable GPS tracks for all the walks. While dedicated hikers will revel in the island's mountainous terrain (Madeira is one of Europe's top destinations for mountain walks), walking the 'levada' paths is one of the most popular activities with visitors. Levadas are watercourses that carry rainfall from the mountains to irrigate the cultivated terraces. Whatever your age or ability we've got some glorious walks and car tours to ensure you have a memorable Madeira holiday.
