Luxstar will be responsible for providing electrical and decorative installation services, worth 73 thousand euros, while Irmãos Leça will be responsible for selling decorative materials and providing decoration services in different spaces in the town of Ponta do Sol and nativity scenes in the three parishes within the scope. of the ‘Vila Natal 2023’ project, totaling 96,227 euros.
Everything so that nothing is missing from the magic of Christmas that residents and visitors usually demand in this upcoming season, a moment of great symbolism and tradition in which the main objective is to celebrate the true Madeiran Christmas spirit from the 7th of December to the 7th of January .
Over the next few days, the streets will be decorated with traditional Christmas decorations in an attempt to reflect a little of the history and traditions of Ponta do Sol.
