Video: The Commencal Les Orres Team Visits Madeira
For the past several years we have been invited by Visit Madeira to finish the season with our friends of Mountain Bike Madeira Meeting, a great event in beautiful Madeira Island. We are totally in love with the place but also with the incredible mountain bike trails and scenery! Exploring the best trails of the island, having some surfing session and being immersed in this culture with super nice people around, such a good way to start the off-season.
We are proud to present here our pre-holiday video from our last trip there in October, supported by Madeira Island, Madeira Ocean & Trails, Mountain Bike Madeira Meeting and Commencal Bikes, a partner of the event.
As the season just started, let’s just remember the good times watching our pre-holiday movie!
And be sure to save the date of 2023 Mountain Bike Madeira Meeting

no need to try demonstrate all the gnarr and blood. Sometimes nice to chill and hit some trails.
Trust me Portugal have loads what to offer for mountainbikers
I have a home on the island and can work from anywhere with data connection. Not wealthy at all. Just trying to live my best life.
The island is rapidly becoming a hot spot for digital nomads (the Government are heavily promoting this), but also young families who are moving there for a better quality of life (as many jobs can now be run remotely, the timezone is easy for UK or Europeans) and flights back to mainland Europe are cheap and plentiful). The average salary on the island is pitifully small, so the cost of living is accordingly very low. If you can live on island with an off island income, you can live like a king & queen. The downside is that property prices are going utterly crazy. Our home in Funchal has doubled in value in just 4yrs.
Madeira is an amazing place. It needs to be experienced at least once and most who now visit come back again and again.
(You can also fly direct from the US during peak months).
