December in Madeira: the complete calendar – Part 1

So you are planning to spend December in Madeira: the complete calendar will help you make up your mind about what things you want to do and which places you are willing to explore.

December 2018 is fast approaching bringing with it the sound of jingle bells and the scent of fir tree. We are all preparing for the celebration of Christ’s Nativity, for a time of family and gift giving.
The Island of the Eternal Spring celebrates Christmas in a unique and purely traditional way. For despite the fact that they are quite away from mainland Portugal, the traditions and customs of the mother country live here and are observed closely. So certainly, the end of this December you are in for an amazing Christmas if you find yourself in Madeira.
So here a few of the highlights of the month to come:
From December 1st to January 6th, when the season’s celebrations are officially over, Christmas lights will bathe Funchal in light. So you might be willing to attend the official switching on of the lights on December 8th, although the locals will be preparing for the jolly season long before this date.
Christmas celebrations in Madeira last for about a week, from December 16th to December 24th. They are of course followed by Christmas with the special mass on the 25th and the family bliss that follows in the next days.
All this while, if you want a Madeira tour or a Funchal airport transfer, you can opt for it by booking online. It is best to make all such travel arrangements online beforehand and this way you can get the best prices and services.
As we approach the end of December, there are other interesting events to occupy our time and attention, but we will mention these in our next article.
