So here is all you should know that is interesting to explore on the great Island of the Eternal Spring this December 2018.
December 28th 2018 is the epic day of the Sao Silvestre Race in Madeira and its surroundings. Its history goes back to 1958, when the Athletics Association and the Region of Madeira first organized this event. Since then, it has thrived into a local tradition as one of the oldest and most prestigious races in Portugal and actually in the whole of Europe. About 2000 contestants of all nationalities and ages come here year after year to compete most amicably. The event entails several events starting with the Wheelchair race, followed by the Health March and the races. This is an exciting event for all those who decide to participate, so if you have the opportunity, you really should go for it!
In recent years, Madeira has also become famous for its spectacular fireworks display on New Year’s Eve. So this year on December 31st, prepare to join the thousands of people that gather on the bay to see the sky alight as if by day time in the middle of the night. This is a wonderful opportunity to relish in the opportunity to explore the city and get its true and authentic feel.
This is a great opportunity to also take your time to visit the city and its surroundings more in depth.
If you rent a car in Madeira, you will enjoy all the freedom of movement that you may need to achieve this and much more.

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.
