Madeira News Blog

Local News From The Madeiran Media & Other Snippets.

We don’t get much news of excitement here on the island. If you pick up the local newspapers you will find much about politics, sport and local events. We get very little crime, and most of that falls into the category of driving offences. However, once in a while we do get some interesting snippets, but if you didn’t follow the Portuguese & Madeiran media, you may well miss out. Here we intend to put that right, so check back regularly to find out what is going on.The full articles can normally be found in the local newspapers – see the madeira4u RESOURCES page on www.madeira4u.com . These are rough translations made on a best endeavours basis, and the facts should be checked out thoroughly if used for anything of any importance. If readers have anything of interest to add, please put it here, quoting your source and the date – thank you!!
