Love the video. Just curious when your video was filmed? Was it in Nov? I'm contemplating going this Nov/Dec 2023.. Thanks.

Hi guys, great video!

We are going to Madeira in June, do you recommend staying in Funchal and another town (ideally in the other side of the isle) or only in Funchal as the main base?

Thank you for your tips!
