I am looking at Management and or sales opportunities jobs in Madeira. I speak English/Portuguese and am originally from Madeira. There are lots of web sites out there with bogus information. Do you know of any sites that post actual jobs in Madeira? Grateful for any positive information.

Ribeira Brava doesn’t have city status Vic. We’re just still a plain ole town. Still lots of shops, but not many spending customers.

Perhaps if they used local Shell (Girao Group) they’d do better!?!

I’ve worked out that Madeira’s busses use fuel at an extraordinary rate.
64.22 litres per 100k equates to ;-
13.94 gallons per 64.22 miles equates to ;-
4.46 miles to the gallon.

Despite the terrain and despite my sums I would expect about 10 mpg.

Who is the beneficiary of the difference?
