Madeira - a 12-day itinerary - Budget/slowtravel
Marthe Bertels
Hi!
I created a detailed 12-day itinerary to discover Madeira on a budgetfriendly way.
I travelled solo to Madeira in november 2022. Since I like to take my time to see things, meet new people and adventure I focus on following things:
1) Hostels, they are the best way to meet new people.
2) I love hiking so get ready for some beautiful hiking trails and wildcamping.
3) I use public transport, since this is a lot cheaper than renting a car. I give you advice on how to get there and how long it takes.
4) Tips and tricks on what to do and what not to. I recommend places I've been to myself but also places I heard great things about but didn't visit.
5) I love taking pictures so enjoy some travel pictures I took myself :)
I discovered beautiful places and fell in love with Madeira, so I hope you do too!

Some practicalities
Weather
The weather in Madeira is very unstable.
They say the best time to travel to Madeira is around May, when all the flowers are blossoming. It isn't called 'Flower Island' for no reason! I travelled in the end of october/beginning of november and only had rain once. I still had some time at the beach and even burned once. Overall it is very humid. While it can be hot at the coastline, in the mountains it can be more cool, and rainy. It gets cold during the night up there, believe me
Clothing tip: Layers, layers, layers.

Hi!
I am a 25 year old female (often) solo traveler just tying to explore beautiful places. I love hiking, adventure, relaxing, food, meeting new people and cultures, travel photography and taking things slow. Rather plan a little bit less and enjoy places to its fullest, than rushing things and not enjoying myself (you'll see this in my guides). Also, i try to make everything budget friendly :-).
