October 8th and 9th – Religious festivity of the Lord of Miracles:

In portuguese is called o “Senhor dos Milagres”. This festivity takes place in Machico, a small town on the southwest of Madeira island. It is an old tradition kept alive by the population as a reminder of an occurence considered a miracle – the cross of Christ was rescued intact from the ocean after a terrible alluvium in 1803 which destroyed a great deal of the infrastructures existent then including the chapel of Christ where this cross was.

October 19th to 28th – Madeira Organ music festival:

Cultural Heritage is often associated very narrowly with museums, archaeological sites, monuments, churches and chapels and so on. Through these performances you will feel the close relation between our unique patrimony and some other heritage assets. As per this exquisite event our organ churches will be played at their best by world known organists. We are certain that the public will thrill in a musical voyage of six centuries. Amazingly the access is free.
