The Social Event will be on June 21, starting at 15:30. We will depart from the conference venue. This event consists of a Panoramic Tour where you have the opportunity to experience some of Funchal’s beautiful places and stops at some beautiful viewpoints of Madeira Island, followed by dinner at a typical restaurant. For this visit it is advisable to use comfortable shoes and clothes.

All registered participants are invited to attend the Social Event that we are organizing for free, but only upon confirming the attendance in this social event, otherwise we cannot guarantee available seats.

With this tour you will have the opportunity to see some of the most iconic places that Madeira Island has to offer, with breathtaking views, namely Pico dos Barcelos (where you can get a fantastic view over the town, bay and surrounding hills), Eira do Serrado (a lookout point at 1,094m overlooking Curral das Freiras, a peculiar village nestled in a deep valley that was, for centuries, believed to be the crater of an ancient volcano) and Ribeira Brava (a charming coastal town known for its picturesque seafront, historic church, and relaxed atmosphere. Surrounded by mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, it offers beautiful scenery and an authentic glimpse into local Madeiran life).

The tour will continue to Câmara de Lobos, where you will enjoy the magnificent scenario of a typical fishing village with its many colorful fishing boats docked in the harbor that inspired the late Sir Winston Churchill to paint its lovely surroundings.
