Portugal tour: Porto - Lisboa - MADEIRA

Madeira è un'isola magnifica, dista solo due ore di volo da Lisboa, ha poco a che fare con il portogallo di Porto o lisbona, è un posto completamente differente, molto più tranquillo, naturale e pacifico.
Il volo non ricordo quanto lo pagai ma ho volato con easyjet, ma vola anche TAP, la compagnia di airlines portoghese. Nei giorni che ho trascorso qui ho alloggiato in una residenza universitaria,vi erano sia turisti che studenti erasmus. La camera aveva il bagno privato e il frigo, la cucina era in comune e vi erano anche altre stanze come quelle degli snack o quella del "convivio" che sarebbe  un salotto, con tavolo, televisione riviste.. L'alloggio si chiama: Residencia Universitario Nossa Senhora Das Vitorias, in Rua Santa Maria, 253, la residenza si trova infondo alla via, ma la via è in una posizione abbastanza centrale, per quattro notti ho pagato 52 euro, mi sono trovata molto bene qui. In cucina ho conosciuto diverse persone come due ragazze tedesche che amavano il tracking, una ragazza che studiava in università lì e due ragazzi che venivano dal Messico. Ah, nella sala del "convivio" ho conosciuto due ragazze francesi loro non le ho conosciute più di tanto.

Funchal è collegata alle altre città dell'isola tramite un'ottimo servizio di trasporto pubblico in superficie, per muoversi nella stessa Funchal ci sono anche tre cabinovie (in portoghese si chiamano "telematico")
Per andare in areoporto ci sono sia i bus pubblici (il biglietto costa circa 3 euro) e bus leggermente più veloci Areobus, che costano 5 euro.
Non ci sono spiagge a Funchal, ma soltanto scogliere, per arrivare alle spiagge bisogna spostarsi in bus.

Madeira island is magnificent , is only a two hour flight from Lisbon , has little to do with the Portugal Porto or Lisbon, is a totally different place , much more tranquil, natural and peaceful.
The flight can not remember what I paid but I have flown with easyjet , but also flies TAP , the Portuguese airline of airlines . In the days that I spent there I stayed in a university residence , there were both tourists and Erasmus students . The room had a private bathroom and the fridge , the kitchen was common and there were also other rooms such as snacks or that of the " banquet " that would be a living room, with table , television, magazines .. The accommodation is called: Residencia university of Nossa Senhora Das Vitorias , at Rua Santa Maria, 253, the residence is to instill the street , but the street is in a fairly central location for four nights I paid 52 Euros , I found myself very well here. In the kitchen I have known several people as two German girls who loved the tracking, a girl who was studying at the university there and two guys who came from Mexico. Ah , in the hall of " feasting " I met two French girls they do not have known that much.

Funchal is connected to other cities of the island by an excellent public transport service in the area , to move in the same Funchal there are also three cable cars (in Portuguese called " telematics " )
To go to the airport there are both public bus (the ticket costs about 3 Euros ) and slightly faster Areobus bus , which cost 5 euro .
There are no beaches in Funchal, but only cliffs, beaches have to move to get to the bus.
