Funchal hotels - About Funchal
Funchal (pronounced [fũˈʃaɫˤ]), population 100,526, is the chief of the Madeira Island and the capital of Madeira Autonomous Region, Portugal. Funchal is also the largest city on the islands and with its neighbouring boroughs(municipalaties) of Camara de Lobos,Santa Cruz, Machico and Ribeira Brava has over 150,000 inhabitants. It is the most populous portuguese City (Cidade in portuguese) outside the mainland Portugal (Portugal Continental). Funchal urban conurbation includes the cities of Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço and Santa Cruz, all on the southside of Madeira. Funchal is located in a unique area on Madeira Island southside; the natural geological features form an "amphitheatre" surrounding the city, which begins at the harbour and rises almost 1200 metres high on gentle slopes. This provides a natural shelter and was what attracted the first settlers. Funchal is a cosmopolitan and very panoramic city with several parks. There are many hotels, including deluxe properties. Madeira's capital for more than five centuries, Funchal is said to have been named as such because of the abundance of fennel (funcho - in Portuguese) that was growing there.
Part of Funchal Municipality are the Savage Islands (Ilhas Selvagens), a nature reserve 160 km (100 mi) South of Funchal.
Funchal is bypassed by a superhighway to west and east whith accesses to Camara de Lobos,Ribeira Brava to the w. and Santa Cruz and Machico, to the E. Madeira is an international tourist destination for cruise ships and air planes.
