The christmas lights in Funchal look much better this year, but still not back to the traditional style we are used to. The only complaint I have is, from Reids through to the Forum Madeira there are no lights along the streets, being the biggest hotel zone on the Island I think its disgusting.
They were still working hard to get all the lights finished, so I think its going to look great when all complete. The Pestana Casino also has a large tree outside which really looks good this year.
I will add more photos as I take them, also from other areas of the Island. Camara de Lobos and Machico look great this year from what I have seen on Facebook.
Certainly a big improvement on last year and nice to see some colour along the main promenade, which last year was so lacking in anything at all! I have seen many comments that Machico is excellent this year, so can't wait to go and have a look in a few weeks time. Lots of comments on facebook in particular about the standard of lights still not in keeping with that of a couple of years ago - one chap has posted a then and now set of photos showing the difference between the years. I guess money has a lot to do with things nowadays and it will be some time (if ever) that we get to see the breathtaking displays of a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteYes a much better improvement on last year... I can't wait to go and see Machico though.
