Read our anniversary edition

The edition commemorating Essential Madeira Islands' 10th anniversary is available for online reading.

What do Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher have in common? A lot, many will tell you, but one thing, perhaps not as well known, is that both visited Madeira in about the same time of the year. In this Essential Madeira Islands anniversary edition, 10th anniversary special, we remember the visit of these two British statespeople.

The magic of New Year’s and tradition of Christmas also deserve our attention, as does the story of Jean Truter, who visited Madeira for the first time in 1947 and never stopped coming back. In this edition we visit Mudas, the new contemporary art museum of Madeira which means to create a new hub in Calheta.

Still in the West side, we disclose the Music in the Chapels initiative, with many concerts in the welcoming environment of Ponta do Sol’s chapels. But there’s also news in Funchal. The renowned Madeiran interior designer has opened a design centre in Madeira.

In this edition we tell you the details as we went to see the restaurant integrated in the DC project, under the guidance of Chef Miguel Laffan. Don’t let go of the advantages in being our subscriber.
