Madeira – The Island of Eternal Spring
Madeira is an island full of adventures, with beautiful trails, local delicacies, and practical tips. Everything you need to know for your trip to Madeira can be found on my blog!
Southern Madeira
The southern coast of Madeira is known for having the warmest temperatures on the island. It is the most popular area among tourists, and the weather is the most reliable. This is where you will find the most hotels and restaurants. It is also famous for popular towns like Câmara de Lobos, which was admired by Winston Churchill and immortalized […]
Northern Madeira
The famous black beach in Seixal, the volcanic cave in São Vicente, or the Rabacal Valley – these are just a few of the wonderful attractions on Madeira’s northern coast!
Eastern Madeira
This is where it all began! Specifically, in the town of Machico, where the first Portuguese settlers arrived in 1419.
Funchal – The Capital of Madeira
Funchal is the largest city in Madeira. Located on the southern coast of the island, its houses climb up the surrounding hills, resembling an amphitheater from above.
![[ENG] Malacca was once worth more than gold.
This is not a metaphor. In the 15th century, this port controlled one of the most important trade routes in the world. Ships from China, India, Arabia and Europe passed through the Strait of Malacca, carrying silk, porcelain, spices and gold. Whoever controlled this city controlled trade between East and West.
Today, Malacca looks calm and unassuming. Low buildings, a red colonial square, temples, narrow streets of Chinatown.
Only when you learn its history do you begin to understand how significant this place once was.
[PL] Malacca była kiedyś warta więcej niż złoto.
To nie jest metafora. W XV wieku ten port kontrolował jeden z najważniejszych szlaków handlowych świata. Statki z Chin, Indii, Arabii i Europy przepływały przez Cieśninę Malakka, przewożąc jedwab, porcelanę, przyprawy i złoto. Kto kontrolował to miasto, kontrolował handel między Wschodem a Zachodem.
Dzisiaj Malacca wygląda spokojnie i niepozornie. Niskie budynki, czerwony kolonialny plac, świątynie, wąskie uliczki Chinatown.
Dopiero kiedy poznasz jej historię, zaczynasz rozumieć, jak ogromne znaczenie miało to miejsce.
