Funchal, Portugal
About Funchal
Funchal is the chief city of Madeira Island and the capital and largest city of the
Madeira Autonomous Region, Portugal.
With its neighbouring boroughs (municipalities) of Câmara de Lobos, Santa Cruz,
Machico and Ribeira Brava the town has over 150,000 inhabitants. It is the most
populous Portuguese city outside mainland Portugal. The Funchal conurbation includes
the cities of Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço and Santa Cruz, all on the south side
of Madeira.
Funchal lies in a natural "amphitheatre", with gentle slopes beginning at the harbour
and rising almost 1200 metres. This provides a natural shelter that attracted the
first settlers. Funchal is a cosmopolitan and panoramic city, with parks, shops and
hotels.
Funchal has been Madeira's capital for more than five centuries, and is said to have
been named because of the abundance of fennel (funcho - in Portuguese) growing there.
The Funchal Municipality includes the Savage Islands (Ilhas Selvagens), a nature
reserve 160 km (100 mi) south of Funchal.
A highway provides access to Camara de Lobos and Ribeira Brava to the west, and Santa Cruz and Machico to the east.
