Funchal is very nice. However it rained heavily when we were there. We had previously taken a tour form one of the taxi drivers when on another cruise and had seen the sights. it is much better value that any ships tour
Lovely island . We have been there several times. Again the taxi driver tours are much better value. Santa Cruz itself is a lovely town, There is a tram for a few euros you can go up to another town which is beautiful but the name escapes me
Good for jewellery shopping. We had hired a car on a previous trip and toured the whole island. had lunch in the french bit and went to the beach, this time we just had a look around the town. Except for the beach and jewellery not much else to see
