For those who have visited Oporto before or just prefer to do their own thing, this tour is perfect.

The attraction of Oporto, Portugal’s second largest city, lies in its workday atmosphere.

The Oporto that we shall see today dates mainly from the 18th century, when trade was booming and merchants financed fine houses for themselves. We will have the chance to see some of the city’s finest buildings on this tour.

Our panoramic drive around Oporto shows us a town of major contrasts, with large avenues and squares surrounded by older narrow picturesque streets and simple façades.

Set within the magnificent Palheiro Estate and lying adjacent to the 5 * Madeira Island Hotel Casa Velha do Palheiro – the 18-hole, par 72 Championship golf course meanders through a pristine environment of maritime pine and botanical woodland embroidered with lush, sub-tropical vegetation.

Henry the Navigator of Portugal, at the beginning of the 15th century, planned to extend his knowledge of the coast of West Africa. In pursuit of this objective, two young sea captains, Joãn Goncalves Zarco and Tristão Vaz Teixaira, were blown off course on their journey around the African coast. After many days at sea they found land on a small island that they called Porto Santo; the year was 1419. It was a year later that the next discovery was made. The captains had reported a possible island on the southern horizon. Approaching the island they were met by huge Atlantic rollers breaking along the north coast, and the boiling turbulence of the crosscurrents at the Ponto São Lourenço. However on rounding the headland they discovered the Bay of Machico, and the heavily forested island they called Madeira.

The currency of Madeira is the Euro.
