Strange for a runway to have a blog all of its own but this one was a bit amazing.  Built completely on columns with only one end in direct contact with the ground. 

 

There was a major road system alongside and through it which meant you could get very close to the 0930 Easyjet from Manchester while looking for the turning to Funchal.

that got even more intriguing when you see that it makes the perfect all weather storage facility for yachts.  Wonder what they pay for that.
