    The sub-tropical island of Madeira is a wonderland of rugged mountains, 
    colorful flowers, elaborate architecture and cobblestone streets. This 
    blissful island, often called the “Garden of the Atlantic,” was the favored 
    retreat of Sir Winston Churchill. Sample some Madeira wine and  shop 
    for embroideries, tapestries, and wickerwork. |
