Postcard from Madeira!

Today I received a beautiful postcard from Madeira! The postcard shows a great night view of Funchal, the capital city of Madeira. Madeira is one of two autonomous regions of Portugal. It is located in the north Atlantic ocean, roughly 1,000 kilometres away from the Iberian Peninsula. It was first claimed by Portuguese explorers in 1419 and is considered to be the first disvoery of the age of Portuguese discovery. Thanks Elena!
