This Thursday, July 7th, the presentation of the Varino real estate project, also known as ‘Dubai in Madeira’, takes place.

The presentation was announced by the presidency of the Regional Government and will be attended by President Miguel Albuquerque. It takes place from 12:00 pm at the Savoy Palace Hotel, in Funchal.

It should be remembered that this project will be born on Estrada Monumental, on a land of 35,000 square meters, intended for housing and commerce. The work is in charge of the consortium formed by the AFA Group and Socicorreia.

  1. Why on earth is such a development even being considered? As if there weren’t enough gargantuan new developments already here or in progress. Some property developers seem intent on spoiling the island. If people want a place like Dubai they can go there.

    1. It might spoil yours’s and my treasured island but it provides new jobs.

      1. Sorry George, not on the long term! A lot will rethink if Madeira will still be the place to stay and I am one of them.

        1. Remember when Tenerife was a paradise enjoyed by just a few, then in moved the developers. Now look at it, I won’t go there, you won’t go there but it hasn’t stopped the tourism. The tourists will come as long as they are given what they want in a holiday and Madeira will evolve, not to your liking but you only go there a couple of weeks a year. This is a question for the Madeiran people to decide.

          1. I agree that it is for Madeirans to decide but speak for yourself about how long people spend there. Last year was a light year for travel for us but we still spent eight weeks in the Eden Mar.

      2. Not if it puts off tourists from visiting. It would surely make me think twice about where I want to spend time.

  2. AFA Group and Socicorreia and Political Brown Envelopes….allegedly. Thought the worst was over x5 years ago —- Carry on Ruining Madeira, The Golden Egg is well and truly cooked……

  3. Great…and a you can go shopping all day at the Forum next door. What kind of airhead goes shopping when they’re on holiday…Why not have a break from shopping when on holiday?

    1. ” What kind of airhead goes shopping when they’re on holiday…” The same sort of airhead, like myself, who prefers to sit under an umbrella with a large cold beer but doesn’t wish to dictate to his fellow holidaymakers.

  4. Der Wahnsinn in Funchal eskaliert. Dieser Molloch von einer Stadt ist jetzt schon mit seinem ausufernden Verkehr samt den stinkenden, lauten und rostigen Bussen ein Wahnsinn. Dazu wird ein wahnwitziger Hotelkolloss nach dem anderen (z.B: Savoy Palacace, einige Hundert Meter ist bereits das nächste im bau)) an der Estrada Monumental errichtet. Dabei werden Bananenplantagen und Gärten geopfert, welche dieser
    Stadt noch etwas vom Madeira-Flair verliehen haben.
    Wir verbrachten die letzten 10 Jahre unsere mehrwöchigen Urlaube in Funchal und man konnte Jahr für Jahr sehen, was an Bausünden begangen wurde. Im Rathaus von Funchal muss der Wahnsinn ausgebrochen sein.
    Viele Restaurants und Geschäfte gibt es nach der Pandemie nicht mehr, tausende von Wohnungen in den gigantischen Wohnblöcken stehen leer, da sich der normale Bürger auf Madeira diese sich nicht leisten kann. Auf Grund der schlechten Bezahlung fehlt Personal an allen Ecken, dafür nimmt die Zahl der Bettler ständig zu, die Kriminalität steig Die jungen Leute ergreifen die Flucht und ziehen auf das Festland. Und diese Wahnsinnsprojekte sollen die Lösung sein?
    Ich lasse mich gerne eines Besseren belehren, die Zukunft wird es weisen.
    Liebe Grüße aus Österreich.
