My husband and daughter are planning to go to Portugal for 13 years, since doctors recommend air and walking for the health of the child (childhood problems with breathing problems) . Please tell me when and where it is best to go to combine vacation with health walks? Which holiday region to choose: Riviera, Algarve or Madeira? We do not need animation and noisy hotel, we need quiet air . The goal is to gain strength and health . If we go in winter, then how cold is it there? The fact is that none of the acquaintances in Portugal was and the opinions are very contradictory . Local travel agencies do not know the information about the country and offer other countries .

Answer Ekaterina Belyaeva
You are right with the choice Directions - Princess Sisi also chose Portugal at the time, namely, Madeira Island:) Her example was followed by our compatriot Karl Bryullov, on the advice of his friends when he overtook the disease.

By my own experience, I know, that Madeira in winter is a very comfortable resort for walks. The average temperature during the day is 23-26, at night - 17-19 degrees Celsius. And at the same time - the resort is charmingly beautiful!

You can walk along the promenades along the ocean to which banana plantations, orchards and vineyards are very close, or you can walk on special equipped walking serpentines along the irrigation canals of the island, called "Levady" . Levada is divided according to the degree of difficulty to 4 levels . There are more authentic, shorter, light and more complex . There are hundreds of kilometers in Madeira in these countries . This is a favorite entertainment for hikers, and at the same time it's health walks . The beauty of the landscapes you meet In this way, it is difficult to convey in words .
