Portuguese is the official language on Madeira, with local accents that differ from the mainland, so a few words of greeting go a long way. Fish stews and grilled fish are everyday dishes, and each island keeps its own recipes, making a meal here a way to sample what Madeira cooks at home.
Rain falls mainly in the winter half of the year on the northern islands, while the southern islands are drier overall, so conditions vary across a visit. The islands sit between Europe, Africa and the Americas, which has long made them crossroads for shipping and trade, and that history shows in the mix of influences on the table.
