The Caminho Real da Madeira Association intends for the Caminho Real da Madeira to be classified as heritage of Public Interest, with the definition and inventory of an initial route, as previously proposed by this ACRM to the Regional Directorate of Culture. This is one of the objectives set for this year, which emerged from a General Assembly that took place yesterday morning.
At that same meeting, the accounts for the 2023 financial year, the proposed activity plan and respective budget for the year 2024 were also approved.
The activity plan for this year highlights the following projects:
- Organize the 7th Tour of Madeira on Camino Real 23;
