Essential Madeira - No. 39 August-September 2013

I dette nummeret

During centuries, the bay of Funchal was a safe haven for thousands of vessels. It’s
history is full of compelling characters and landmarks. At a time which sees the city
celebrate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the entity that propelled the
works on the local Port of Funchal, Essential recalls this journey as well as the strong
connection that locals share towards the sea and their city Port.
The Island of Madeira is also home to one of the most acclaimed wines in the World, the
Madeira Wine, which is guaranteed to be found a little everywhere. With this in mind,
Essential opted for a stunning magazine cover featuring the vineyards of Quinta do Furão
in the background. We have also included several articles and news on the wine theme,
emphasizing the importance of local production.
This edition also features details on the main events scheduled for the remaining
summer months and on the new North Coast concept, seeking to turn the parish of
Seixal into the trendy capital of the north side of the island.
