Whereas Madeira is famous for being green, lush and rather wet, Porto Santo is bone dry.  One small town on a lovely beach and very nicely kept we enjoyed exploring.

Their claim to fame is that Christopher Columbus was born there so we visited his house as told in the ‘Quick Update’ I wrote at the time.

We had a good couple of days on Porto Santo but felt that we had pretty much exhausted the delights by then and it was time to move on to Madeira.
