The archipelago of Madeira is of volcanic origin but unlike the other islands in the group are barren, Madeira is lush and verdant, boasting an exceptionally temperate climate and rich agricultural resources.
Madeira was discovered in 1419, by three navigators who afterwards received the archipelago as a reward: Bartholomeu Perestrelo (later father-in-law to Christopher Columbus) was made captain of Porto Santo, Tristão Vaz Teixeira of Machico and João Gonçlaves Zarco of Funchal.
