Thomsons Holidays - Madeira
Funchal is excellent for shopping. The capital boasts a good number of shopping centres and most are open 7 days a week. Away from the malls, take a stroll through the old town's cobblestone alleyways - stumble upon an Aladdin's cave of small, locally run shops and watch women work painstakingly on the island's famous embroidery. Wicker is Madeira's most popular souvenir and wherever you go there are wicker baskets and furniture of all shapes and sizes for sale. The largest choice can be found in the small village of Camacha. Another popular purchase is Madeira wine. Remember in most of the wine lodges you can try before you buy! Most of the wine companies expertly pack your bottles up so you don't have to worry about getting them home in one piece and this is often the case if you choose to buy rare blooms such as orchids and bird of paradise flowers from the colourful markets.
