Driving around Madeira

Madeira is a volcanic island with very little flat land.
Is it easy to drive in Madeira? Driving in Madeira is very easy. There are a few main highways on Madeira that connect you around the island and also through the middle from south to north. Overall, the roads are really good. The only challenging part about driving in Madeira is when you go to some of the hikes.
It’s true there are some pretty crazy roads in more remote locations. This includes small streets in mountain towns that can have some truly wondrous 20° inclines.
The old coastal roads around the island (from before all the new tunnels were made) are not used as much anymore, but some are still there for you to drive. They’re scenic but also narrow and beside steep cliffs. These old roads are great for an adventurous road trip.
