Ilhas Desertas Description
About 11miles southeast of Madeira are the Ilhas Desertas, the "deserted" islands, three waterless and uninhabited rocky islets: Deserta Grande (491m/1,611ft), Ilhéu do Bugio (411m/1,348ft) and the flat Ilhéu Chao (104m/341ft). They are the home of the reat wolf spider (geolycosa ingens), one of Europe's biggest spiders; seals live in the caves of Deserta Grande.
