Where should I start. This was a wonderful walk. I have so many questions. This is one place I would love to visit. A lot of coffee, wine, food and.... ice cream for my wife. I find afternoon and night walks are very interesting. It was like I was there. I did not see a lot of bicycles. Are they allowed? My wife says you must be in great shape. A lot of walking. Take care and please keep making videos. Hi from Sandpoint, Idaho USA.

[@LivingWalks]

Well good morning HD, pleased you enjoyed strolling in Madeira. We have fallen in love with the Island, so I can quite see why you'd want to go. It's a bit too hilly for bikes but you do see some tough people in the mountains going for it, and there are cycle paths on the flat bits. Def' better for walking I'd say. Why not go at Christmas time, (we'll be there again in Dec' and January and it'd be great to meet someday!) It's the best time to go as even if you're not a lover of the season like me, they do seduce you into liking it, as they do there best to make it perfectly magical. I have a few more here of Madeira and more to come, so hope you'll pop by for another meander and get to know more of the island? Toodloo for now.

[@HurleyDeanSandpointIdaho]

I watched the video again and realized it is pretty hilly, narrow roads and people. I can see why you have fallen in love with the island. A Christmas video would be wonderful! My health problems might interfere with traveling on a long flight. I will talk it over with my wife. It would be nice to meet you. We really enjoy your videos... Question: What airport would we fly into?

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there HD, what a pleasure that would be to sit in the Ritz enjoying a chenesa with you and your wife! You'd fly into Funchal. I feel like we're getting to know you quite well already without even having met.

[@christinag8740]

Hi Hurley Dean. I am very glade you found this video. There is so much to do on the island. I have been going to Madeira for 16 years now with my family. I love this area, which is the Lido. We stay at the Residence which is a time share, but there is a nice hotel called Edan Mar which is part of the Porto Bay Group. You have to be in great shape because there are a lot of hills. I find getting around easy, you can walk, take the bus or a taxi. The food is amazing and the people are friendly. I am from New York

[@HurleyDeanSandpointIdaho]

Thank you for the information. I would love to visit Madeira. What a wonderful place. Thank you....

[@LivingWalks]

Do pop by and say hello, or share any tips or recommendations regarding the Lido area. We always welcome your comments.

[@cesarvieira8467]

I just want to thank you guys, I studying abroad and it is good to be able to still see my island while Im not there. Keep up with the excellent work!

[@LivingWalks]

​@@cesarvieira8467 Hi there, it certainly makes it worthwhile to receive such a nice message. It's our hope that these little films can help us stay connected to places we love. It must have been a hard place to leave. We were there for only 10 weeks and it feels like home. We miss it already so I'd imagine you must do too? I have a few more of your lovely island here and more soon to upload if you ever feel like you are missing home again.

[@mindfulart8217]

Oooh, I'm sitting down to my lunch, pretending I'm in Funchal lido. What would I do without your footage LW!

[@LivingWalks]

What a pleasure to know they are being enjoyed. very happy to bring them to you. And many more to follow from Madeira for you. All the best.

[@TheWalkingRabbit]

Such a beautiful City. Amazing walking tour experience in a wonderful place! Thanks for bringing us with you in this tour! I enjoyed the walk...

[@LivingWalks]

I'd recommend it for sure and they are certainly welcoming. It feels very organised and safe too covid wise. Always a pleasure to hear from you.

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Beautiful, I went the Funchal many years ago beautiful place, all the best from the UK

[@LivingWalks]

Glad you enjoyed it. I completely agree, it's fast becoming our favourite place. All the best to you and greetings back from the UK.

[@yviebooth]

I'd recommend the pastel de nata at the cafe in the park opposite the Ritz. But mind the mosquito's!

[@LivingWalks]

Yes, I could spend the afternoon there quite happily!

[@capmendonca]

I lived there for 10 years and I walked that paths every single day. I worked in several of pestanas hotels around.....memories. I miss the weather. Now I am in UK for 10 years. I miss my home MADEIRA

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there Charles, what a pleasure to hear from you. Hope this helped to bring back happy memories. What an interesting life you must have had there, it's a special place isn't it? I hope you get to return to your second home someday.

[@donroy7825]

Hi, L.W. ! Thanks for this delightful evening walk at the Lido, good update on the various restaurants 😃 👍. Cheers, Don 👋

[@LivingWalks]

Glad you enjoyed it Don. I've been enjoying your St Andrews walk too!

[@KevinTheCountryman]

Love this video, so peaceful and relaxing.

[@LivingWalks]

Good morning Kevin, well I'm pleased you enjoyed it. I do have a few more here of Madeira and more to come, so hope you'll pop by for another meander sometime? All the best to you.

[@WalkingArchive]

What a beautiful place. I know this is the end of the world, but I never thought this would be this beautiful in the midst of the wilderness. I am from Northern Vermont, and I often come here to watch the snow go by the forest and to think that I have no life and that I may just be here just for a few weeks. I had not expected to be in a small town within the woods. As we go by, I notice the snow that has piled up in the street. I see a small house. We go in and the woman is just standing there with a beautiful family. As we say hello, I see a large dog come out to look at us. We are out front as the dog passes by and we then just come into the house where I saw them in. It is a wonderful home. We come out and we both start to dance at the end of the driveway.

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there WA, a pleasure to hear from you. What a wonderfully poetic message, I have a real image of that dance of yours!!

Hi there Nettie, we feel the same and agree it's a very special place. I hope you enjoy revisiting it here until you can be back again for real?

My recommendation is the rather lovely cocktail bar at the Porto Mare hotel. It's open to non residents and has music in the evening.

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for the recommendation LYM, Sounds like just the ticket!

[@yorkshirelass8954]

Good to hear as I'm staying at that hotel are drinks expensive?

[@BoyInAFridge]

I really like your pace and steadiness LW. It does make the experience so relaxing. How far is the lido walking wise from the old town?

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks BIAF. The lido is around a 35 minute walk into the Old town.

[@AmbientWalking]

There's always something to see and to experience whenever I watch your videos. Always a great feeling. Thank you! : )

Thank you Living Walks for these video's of Madeira. I gave a like and subscribed. I have been going to Madeira for 16 years, but stopped going because the flight is too long. It is just like being there. Can you do a video where you explore The Residence by Port Bay, which is in the Lido Area. I find the people to be friendly and the food to be excellent. Maybe do a food video. There is so much to see. The last time I was in Madeira was in 2019. I do miss it

[@LivingWalks]

Thank you Christina for dropping by and connecting. How nice of you to like and subscribed. So you have been going to Madeira for 16 years, how wonderful, I can quite see why. We've considered doing a walk through of some of the hotels in the Lido Area, so if we have time we might surprise you. We do agree that the people to be friendly and the food is excellent throughout. A food video may be on the cards too. We'll just have to see what time we have left. All the best and hope to stay in touch.

Hello, greeting from S.Korea. I enjoyed your channel very much. By the way, what is the main industry in this island? Maybe tourism or fishery? I want to go here once the corona virus is over.

[@LivingWalks]

Hello friend, it's certainly a beautiful island to visit and we'd recommend it. Tourism is of course on of the main industries on the island, as well as agricullture - the export of flower, sugar cane, wickerwork and embroidery.
