## About Madeira Friends

Madeira Friends started in 2020 as a weekly fitness meetup by the sea in Funchal — locals and internationals meeting up simply because it felt good. The community grew into the Madeira Friends Hub, which now hosts coworking, private offices, the virtual office service, and 800+ community events per year. The virtual office exists because businesses in the community started asking whether they could use the hub address for their companies. It is, in the most literal sense, a service born from the community it serves.
