I have written about my trip to Madeira Island in Portugal in an earlier review (link). We stayed at the Hotel Quinta Do Furao in Madeira and enjoyed two spectacular hikes (see image below) and other excellent ones during our stay.

What brought on this memory?
We were thinking about the Ponta de São Lourenço PR-8 hike and looked through several pictures last night.
Award booking flights to Lisbon & Madeira
It’s easy to find business class award space (sometimes for up to 6 people) on TAP Air Portugal by booking with its Star Alliance partners (Aeroplan, ANA and LifeMiles).
Hotel Quinta Do Furao
We used Booking.com to book the Hotel Quinta Do Furao for 4 nights and the hotel offers various wellness facilities, such as a sauna, a fitness room, and a massage room.
Conclusion
Pictures don’t do much justice to either the hotel or the hikes I mentioned in the review and you must see and experience them for yourselves. I recommend starting with the PR-8 hike (before 8am to get parking space) which is moderate compared to the more intense PR-1 hike.
