Madeira's mid-Atlantic setting brings a mild oceanic climate, so the landscape stays green through the year and summer delivers the driest, warmest conditions. Cooking on the island draws on seafood landed fresh from the Atlantic, beef and cheese produced locally, and wines grown in volcanic soil. Direct flights from Europe serve the mid-Atlantic islands, and Portuguese is the main language spoken on Madeira. For anyone based in Funchal, Maia provides a convenient café stop within the São Martinho area.
