one of the guys from vexl was talking to me a lot about a year ago, i just was already far away from where there was many other users... madeira might be bitcoin island but really only if you live right in the middle of the big city

i think there is a fair number of good options around in the east of the balkans, for sure plenty of bitcoiners in bulgaria, but again probably nicer in the bigger cities, like, sofia is pretty dense with it now, also a fair bit of decent options in varna, and a few in belgrade as well, maybe banja luka, i forget, i wasn't really there long enough
