Part of a series of pocket guides designed to take visitors away from the tourist centres and out into the countryside, exploring by private or public transport, or on foot. This book on Madeira is divided into three sections: car tours (with a colour pull-out touring map), picnics and walks for all ages and abilities. All walks are described in full and illustrated with large-scale Portuguese military maps (scale 1: 40,000). Each book also contains up-to-date timetables for public transport. The previous edition of this book won the Thomas Cook Best Travel Guide Award in 1989.
