The Queen of pop is currently staying at the exclusive Pestana Palace hotel, where she is said to have a whole wing to herself while she house-hunts for a permanent abode in Portugal.
The 59-year-old hitmaker has posted a succession of pictures on her social media accounts of her time in Portugal, which she has spent with her adopted son and five-year-old twin daughters exploring its delights.
She has been snapped horse-riding in Comporta (Setúbal), enjoying Fado in Bairro Alto, and taking son David to the Benfica football academy.
This past weekend she ventured down to the Algarve where David spent his birthday at the Zoomarine park in Guia, Albufeira, among dolphins, sea lions and turtles, to name a few of its resident sealife.
David had a swim with the dolphins, although it’s not known whether his famous mother also donned a wetsuit.
Madonna is also mother to Lourdes, 20, Rocco, 17, and Mercy, 11.
