Funchal is the capital of Madeira, Portugal, known for its stunning coastal views and historical charm. It is WAY more sprawling and populous than I expected!!! Orange rooves err where. With a population of over 105,000, it's a popular tourist destination. The city got its name from the abundance of wild fennel (funcho in Portuguese) that grew there. Funchal has a rich history dating back to the 15th century when it became an important maritime port and a hub for European commercial interests. Today, it's a vibrant city with a mix of cultural attractions, beautiful gardens, and a bustling port welcoming cruise liners. It's a good central place to book your accommodation and explore the island!
