Walking Tour Funchal Madeira, Funchal, Portugal (B)

We are passionate about walking tours in each place that we visit, especially the walking tour of Funchal Madeira that we took with Beata from History Tellers.

“History Tellers are part of the Madeiran Heritage project developed by the University of Madeiran Student’s Union (AAUMa) to publicize and preserve Madeira’s tangible and intangible heritage.
