short step to the primeval woodland that cloaks the dramatic cliffs and canyons of the islands interior The fertility of Madeiras flower-filled gardens is in marked contrast to the aridity of the islands volcanic peaks And nothing could be more different than the gentle rippling of the levadas (canals), which carry water into Madeiras deepest valleys, and the crash of the waves that dash the islands rocky shores Madeira has been called a place where all the continents meet It has something of them all including snow Quarter D A D E S M A D E I R E N S E S PRAầA DA A S CO M U NI AUTONOMIA
