Awesome drone shots Joe 👌

Cheers guys, makes it easy when it is such a beautiful place

That is a clock tower in São Vicente, built so that the local farmers could regulate their watering schedule from the lavadas..
On the decent to São Vicente you will see a famous Madeira landmark, a white clock tower, high above the town. This was used by local hill farmers to keep an eye on the time.

that is interesting, thank you

Hi, Joey! Love your videos. I am planning on moving to Madeira early next year and your videos have been incredibly helpful. Keep making more!

[@TheJoeyP]

ah, I am so happy to hear that, there is plenty more to come, so I hope they continue to help you. Especially for food haha

[@claired8543]

Looking forward even more to our trip ✈️ to Madeira 🏝️ 1st wk september thanks to you. You are saving me time⏳ hunting for ideas on what to do. Maybe we'll see you around. Well shot 🎥 and edited too. Congrats 👏 P. S. I'm a Brit🇬🇧 leaving in France 🇫🇷 for the past 35 yrs - so I really get the urge to live elsewhere!

[@TheJoeyP]

Hi Joe, I just love your videos😊! Since we met over a Poncha at Santo da Serra lately where I found out what you're doing:-))

[@TheJoeyP]

I am so happy you like them, and it was fantastic to meet you. hope you liked your cameo in the Santo Da Serra one

Visited some of thesenplaces when we did a fuided jeep tour. Went along the north west coast and various off road type places. Thw weather was varied as is often the case but would xhangw ine view piint or village to the next. I'm sure having your vike makes getting to some of the less popular and more isolated places easily. We were either on public transport or with a guide bit certainly got a small taster of the varied landscape. Excellent as always 😀

[@TheJoeyP]

yeah, I mean a car really does make a big difference but the tours can be great too and the public transport is underrated

[@teresawalters5291]

Hi
I think your videos are amazing.

[@TheJoeyP]

Glad you like them!

[@clone_prosantos1655]

Visit porto santo island you will love it

[@TheJoeyP]

yes! I will take the bike there

[@JohnDaSilva-qj3pt]

Just saw video and being from Achadas da Cruz. Spending a night at the bottom is really the best... Sunsets ever and star gazing is the best speaking with experience it's magical . The reason for having some agriculture down at Calhau is because during winter it is cold on top and therefore a few basic vegetables are grown down at Calhau..

[@TheJoeyP]

yes! I was there for my 30th birthday and i will remember it for a long time! loved it

[@twinflowerfioretta]

Very beautiful !! 👍😊❤

[@TheJoeyP]

Stunning

[@maxf3253]

I am here now Joe 😜 Continue on your journey with us on the other end. Beautiful destination

[@TheJoeyP]

phew! now I am the late one on replying!

[@julissavanessasandovalespi9898]

​@TheJoeyP which accommodation are you recommending for stay in there couple days,please ?thanks

[@TheJoeyP]

@@julissavanessasandovalespi9898 in the north of the island or in Funchal?

[@RuePhoto]

Thanks Joe ☺
I remember seeing this video on your other channel so why not watch it again?!
Did you know they've introduced a €2 charge to enter Cabo Girão since April 2023?
When I visited Achadas das Cruz there were some pretty young women sunbathing topless when I was parking up & they made no effort to hide their modesty! 😉
What drone were you using by the way?
Hope you're enjoying your cruise as I'm enjoying seeing your story from it!
Also because I don't seem to be getting notifications when you reply to me, so please hit the "heart" button when you do reply, then I can see it.
Have an amazing weekend my friend 🤗

[@TheJoeyP]

oh! paid!! I am never going again!!! kidding haha

[@RuePhoto]

@@TheJoeyP What drone were you using by the way?

[@TheJoeyP]

@@RuePhoto this one was the DJI mini 2 but I now have the DJI mini 3 pro

[@RuePhoto]

Thanks @@TheJoeyP😊
I've that one too but prefer to fly my DJI Air 2S as it can handle wind far better & the image quality is superior.
I only just got myself registered as a drone operator within the EU just before my recent trip to Madeira as I thought it best to be legal!

[@JohnDaSilva-qj3pt]

Another thing last trip down is st 16H30

[@TheJoeyP]

[@dancerico283]

That church was built by women's, when their husband's went to war...they promised if they come back, they will built it....they come back and as promised they build it by hand...amazing

[@TheJoeyP]

that is interesting

[@mattasialife]

Beautiful tranquil place.
Shall I call it Hawaii of Europe and make people angry 😅

[@TheJoeyP]

haha something like that, the RUclips algorithm might like you though

[@mattasialife]

@@TheJoeyP 😂😂

[@brucewayne2773]

Indeed beautiful , however water and weather is most likely not as warm as Hawaii though.

[@TheJoeyP]

How warm is it there?

[@brucewayne2773]

@@TheJoeyP Well with the weather hovering around 70's these days, ocean is a bit cool but there are many swimming in the ocean and you quickly acclimate to it . Trust me it's nothing like Thailand ocean temp where it is actually warm to get in.

[@TheJoeyP]

@@brucewayne2773 ah it is pretty similar then! Madeira is sub tropical so anywhere between 15-30 C is normal almost all year around (usually at the higher end).

[@thevirtualrelaxation]

Hawaii's southernmost tip is at Latitude 18.9° (Tropic of Cancer is at 23°) Madeira's southernmost tip is at 32.6°. So that's quite a big difference.
Nonetheless it's still very warm, especially in the south-west coast of Madeira. In winter months It's around 21°C (70°F), and in Funchal as well, maybe even warmer due to the heat island effect (North coast is about 19°C). But in summer, temperatures are much more comfortable than in Hawaii. Reaching around 27°C (80°F).
I lived in central Europe for 17 years, so anything above 15°C feels like summer to me, especially on Madeira because the sun is very strong and humidity is very high.
The reason why many people compare Madeira to Hawaii is the fact that both archipelago's are shield volcanoes over 5 million years old.
The biggest problem is that living in Hawaii is unaffordable & and locals don't like tourists, it's also waaay to far and very isolated.
Madeira is only an hour and a half away from Lisbon, Portugal (Mainland Europe). But I would love to visit Hawaii one day, especially Kauai, it's one of the most beautiful places in the world.

[@brucewayne2773]

@@thevirtualrelaxation Thank you for sharing your knowledge of Madeira. I have been to Hawaii many times since it's only a 4 hour flight from California. It's a quick get away for us. Yes Kauai is beautiful .

[@willie549]

Please don't call it the Hawaii of Europe.

[@TheJoeyP]

YT likes that title, have to get eyes on the video :)
