💨 Abstract

Madeira, a Portuguese archipelago often compared to Pandora from "Avatar," is becoming a sought-after destination despite being off the beaten European tourist path. Located in the Atlantic, about 600 miles west of Morocco, this island is known for its dramatic landscapes, vibrant culture, and delicious cuisine. It attracts younger, adventurous travelers now, in contrast to the older crowd it used to draw. The capital, Funchal, is home to traditional stores selling local delights.
