I am not a local but lucky to have been there a couple of times. My tips on #Madeira, with the help of some friends:

Madeira

There are webcams all over the island. You can see the weather conditions in real-time: http://www.netmadeira.com/webcams-madeira

Scenic drives and walks:

Starting from Ribeira Brava, start going up in the direction of Encumeada (best Poncha bar as you’re driving to Encumeada). From there drive to Paul da Serra to see the beautiful view and then go to Fanal (wildlife reserve with 1000+ year old trees). From there, walk the Levada do Rabaçal and then Levada 25 Fontes. It roughly takes 3 hours total, ideally in a day without clouds. One of the most beautiful walks to do. Drive down to Porto Moniz (beautiful sunset) and drive back to Funchal through the Ribeira Brava tunnel.

Start at Pico do Arieiro - beautiful mountain with a view point above the clouds - From there drive down to Ribeiro Frio then to Faial. From there drive to Porto da Cruz (pretty seaside village) and then drive through Santo António da Serra to Machico and finish with a walk in Ponta de São Lourenço. Have dinner in Baía de Machico, near the sand Beach.

Start at Miradouro do Cabo Girão (beautiful view point). From there drive to Fajã dos Padres and get the cable car down to the sea - nice spot for a swim and cute restaurant by the sea (must book). In the afternoon you can drive to Curral das Freiras and stop at Eira do Serrado - an incredible view and drive.

Places to visit:

Jardim do mar - Surfers beach (nice restaurant on the beach)
