Madeira Taste

The tradition of Arraial combines religion with festivity. Churches host masses and processions followed by big parties.

For these events, music, folklore and local gastronomy take centre stage. Streams of light flow from the churches through the surrounding streets and floral decorations and flags add to the spectacle.

Join the celebrations with candy necklaces and feast on Madeiran flavours like lupin beans, bolo do caco bread with garlic butter and espetada created from meat cubes grilled on laurel skewers.

Every Tuesday from June to October at the Sunrise Deck from 7pm
