Living in Madeira | How People Live in The "Garden of the Atlantic" | 4K Travel Documentary
There is an island that belongs to Portugal and the European Union, yet sits on the African tectonic plate.
It is known as the Garden of the Atlantic, even though most of its coastline is rocky and long stretches of natural sand are extremely rare.
This is Madeira.
On this steep volcanic island, more than two hundred thousand people have built homes into the hillsides, carved roads around deep ravines, and transformed tiny patches of land into farms and gardens.
Hidden within mist covered forests, mountain water is channeled along cliffs and distributed to individual fields according to carefully assigned hours.
At the edge of the ocean, airplanes land on a structure that seems almost impossible in a place with virtually no flat land.
Beyond its reputation as a vacation destination, what is life really like for the people of Madeira?
