You will not stay alone. The Madeira Backpackers community is already waiting.

This is the budget crowd - mostly twenty-somethings stretching every euro across the island. Real hostel reviews (not the booking.com kind), scooter-rental haggling tips, and a running tally of where to eat for under 15 euros a plate.
