This fully revised and updated Porto Santo Marco Marco Polo Pocket Guide is an authoritative guide to the island, packed with Insider Tips, hotels, restaurants, places to visit, night life, and shopping tips to make the most of your holiday. This fantastic guide also features a Portuguese phrasebook, detailed road atlas maps of Funchal and the island's bus routes in the backcover, plus a handy pull-out map and comprehensive index. It leads you along spectacular coasts, through green valleys, ancient juniper forests and to impressive summits. In the capital, Funchal, shopping and culture are both at large, while beaches and lidos are ideal for relaxing. The Insider Tips reveal how you can see Madeira from above, and the Best Of pages highlight unique aspects of Madeira, recommend things to do for free, have tips for rainy days and for where you can relax and unwind. The Perfect Route takes you right across the island, visiting the best places en route. You'll find out What's Hot on the island and which websites, blogs and apps can tell you more. The Trips & Tours chapter takes you to cascading waterfalls and though a largely virgin wilderness where fitness and sureness of foot are essential. In Sports & Activities you'll find all the contact details for pursuits such as canyoning and parasailing alongside more established pastimes of hiking and water sports. The Dos & Don'ts tell you why even men shouldn't walk around without a top on and why women can leave their high heels at home.

Review:

Wanderlust Magazine: You've got to applaud Marco Polo's chutzpah to launch 30 new city/island guidebooks into an already pretty crowded market. Aiming to occupy the middle ground between the context-heavy luggage fillers and the context-free thinner volumes, the main USPs of these user-friendly guides are the plentiful 'Insider tips' dotted around each edition, the maps they're packaged with, and the pocket cheering price (�6.99 each). Complete with near-magazine style features, they're certainly a less intimidating proposition than some of the big wedges on offer. --Wanderlust Magazine
