PLANNING AHEAD FOR YOUR HOLIDAYS
MADEIRA IN BLOOM
KNOWN as the floating garden island, it’s only natural that Madeira should host a spectacular Flower Festival.
Usually held each May in the island’s capital, Funchal, the event will this year take place in September 3-27, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
One of the highlights to look forward to is the Children’s Parade on September 5 involving hundreds of youngsters adorned with colourful flowers and then on September 6, the city centre will be filled with music and wonderful aromas when flower dancers, accompanied by huge floral floats, parade through the main streets of Funchal.
Prestige Holidays has a seven-night B&B stay at the new five– star Savoy Palace from £1,066 per person (based on two sharing) including: direct flights with Easyjet to Funchal departing Gatwick on September 2 and private transfers, saving £336 per couple if booked by May 31, 2020 (prestigeholidays.co.uk
