What's buzzing in our cities right now.
Madeira barely has an off-season for flowers, but early autumn is when the island feels most balanced: the summer's steady dry warmth on the coast still holds, while the levada trails higher up cool enough to hike without the midday heat weighing on every step. Hydrangeas and agapanthus keep blooming along the terraces well past when they'd fade elsewhere. Pair a levada walk in the morning with a coastal town in the afternoon.
Espetada is beef cubes seasoned simply with garlic, salt and bay leaf, skewered on a laurel branch and grilled over open coals — then, in the old style, the whole skewer arrives hung from a hook above the table rather than set on a plate. It's built for sharing: pull pieces off with bread, and mop the drippings with bolo do caco, Madeira's garlic bread. Câmara de Lobos, where the tradition runs deepest, has grill houses like O Lagar that still do it this way.
Deep in the Retiro park, past the crowds around the lake, the Palacio de Cristal is an 1887 glass-and-iron pavilion built to house tropical plants for an exhibition, fronted by a small artificial pond that mirrors the whole structure. It now hosts contemporary art shows, so what's inside changes, but the building itself is the real draw. Go on a weekday morning for the quietest reflection.
