64. Madeira, an autonomous region of Portugal, is an archipelago comprising 4 islands
off the northwest coast of Africa. It is known for its namesake wine and warm,
subtropical climate. The main island of Madeira is volcanic, green and rugged, with
high cliffs, pebbly beaches and settlements on deltas of the Faja River.
Madeira, originally uninhabited, was claimed by Portuguese sailors in the service of
Prince Henry the Navigator in 1419 and settled after 1420. The archipelago is
considered to be the first territorial discovery of the exploratory period of the Age of
Discovery.
