A The short and accurate answer to your question is: yes, Madeira is a delight in November, as it is in every other month. The spectacular terrain is draped with superb flora, while the fishing ports and mountain villages are pretty and welcoming. The capital, Funchal, is a superb Atlantic city with a fine harbour, rich history and gentle buzz.
