Madeira's Portuguese navigators settled the islands in the fifteenth century, and they later served as Atlantic trading and whaling stations. Fish stews and grilled fish are everyday dishes, and each island keeps its own recipes, so a meal here fits the local pattern.
Whales, dolphins and seabirds gather in the surrounding waters, and whale-watching boats run from several islands. Inter-island ferries carry passengers and supplies, and crossings can be rough in winter, so plan accordingly.
