Travel memories: Madeira Flower Festival
Every year, the Portuguese island of Madeira holds a festival of flowers celebrating the spring bloom, usually around Easter time. This year, however, the Madeira Flower Festival is presently running from now until September 27th, due to the coronavirus pandemic. The flower festival is also running in conjunction with a fabulous Wine Festival. Wine and flowers, along with great food and island life, sounds like paradise to me!
I visited Madeira in 2018 when the Flower Festival was taking place. I managed to catch a part of it in downtown Funchal. Here are some photos that I wanted to share of the festival – travel memories from 2018:
