## Location
Machico, Madeira

Machico, located on the southeastern coast of Madeira, just 4.5 km from Madeira Airport, is the island's second-largest city. Everything you'll need is within easy walking distance, including hotels, beaches, supermarkets, restaurants, the church, pharmacies, a health center, shops, and the bus station.

With its natural bay—the landing place of Madeira's first Portuguese explorers—a river ecosystem shaped by historic flooding events, and unique geography extending from the town center to Ponta de São Lourenço, Machico has plenty to offer its visitors. Discover scenic hiking trails through native forests and dramatic sea cliffs, and experience the city's rich fishing and whaling history.
