The following is a video of the Christmas scenery in Funchal last year. What you see represents only …. 20% of the scenery.
We are visiting Funchal arriving 30th Novemebr as we thought that the lights were ‘turned on’ on December 1st.
Could you let me know if this is correct or otherwise please.
Either way,can’t wait to get back to Madeira!
The first phase of the Christmas ilumination will start on the 27th of November. On the 4th of December the total system will be lit-up till the first week of January next year.
