Madeira, atlantic's pearl

Hi! I live in a beautiful island, wich is Madeira. Madeira is a Portugal's island. This island has wonderfull landscapes, with a clean and blue sky and fertile vegetation wich it goes to where the eye can see, it's a perfect location for people who appreciate the pure and varieted flora.
The city-state of Madeira is Funchal wich this year is 501 years! The reason for the name "Funchal" is, in the beggining of portuguese exploration, there was a large extension covered by "funcho", wich is a plant.
One of the icons of this island is Laurissilva forest, wich is an huge extension with rich flora and fauna, but it's further than this. Madeira is a turistic location many times chose, for its' great weather every year.
There are many festivals in Madeira, like Carnival, Christmas, Madeira wine festivities, sometimes with typic dancers for population to see.
Gastronomy! Other important thing wich makes Madeira the One. Some typical food are "espetada", honey cake,"bolo do caco", fish, seafood and others...
