Welcome to Madeira On The Map:
Your one-stop Madeira travel blog.
If you’re tired of visiting the same old tourist destinations, you’re in the right place. I created this blog as a one-stop guide to destinations, hikes, and tourist attractions in Madeira, as well as other island necessities like poncha and pastel de nata.

I’m Katie, a travel writer who has been in the industry since I was 19 years old. On a whim, I booked a two-month trip to Madeira in 2023. I was hooked.
I found the internet lacked one single Madeira blog which could provide everything I needed to plan my trip to Madeira. That’s why I created this blog.
With over six months spent on the island, I want to give people the tools they need to explore the island of Madeira out of the box – and I want to put underrated parts of Madeira on the map.

Please travel Madeira responsibly. When you visit this small island, pick up your litter, drink responsibly and be kind and courteous to the island’s residents. Let’s support local businesses as much as possible.
