Stargazing in Portugal

Stargazing in Madeira: 3 dark-sky spots, rated by data

We measured the night sky over every one of these spots: satellite radiance, skyglow from surrounding cities, and ten years of cloud climatology (how the Sky Score works). The darkest sky in Madeira scores 41/100. Each spot guide also lists places to stay nearby, every one rated for the darkness measured at the hotel itself, so you can sleep under the sky you came for.
