From sunrise to sunset, Madeira offers her visitors a wealth of contrasts due to the sunlight that shines as slowly as its movement. The blues of the sky and the ocean mingle with other hues, which fascinate us, thanks to the exquisite beauty of the flowers and plants winding the island at the pace of the water flowing in the "levadas", which provide unforgettably charming walks. With magnificent panoramas, Madeira is famous for her sweet fortified wines, her embroideries, wickerwork and above all for the captivating hospitality of her people. With a new intercontinental airport, the region has quality hotels and restaurants and offers excellent conditions for a wide variety of meetings, including learning Portuguese. An all-inclusive destination where Culture joins Tourism in a joint offer that lulls of visitors who can still enjoy clear waters with enticing temperatures and a variety of sport activities. I know the island and I can show the student around and introduce him to the Madeiran culture as well offer him a nice environment at my place, thanks to my teaching experience, communication skills, knowledge of Madeira.
