The archipelago of Madeira is comprised of four groups of islands: the main island of Madeira, Porto Santo, the Desert Islands, and the Savage Islands. It is located 400 kilometers north of Tenerife, and 1200 kilometers southwest of mainland Portugal.

Madeira enjoys a Mediterranean climate, and it is the outermost region of the European Union. The region was "found" in 1419 by Henry the Navigator, a famous Portuguese ocean explorer.

The island of Madeira is the result of volcanic eruptions that took place over five million years ago. The average yearly temperature in the territory is of 19.5°C (67.3°F).
