In Madeira, springtime is honoured like a queen, being crowned with the Flower Festival, held every year after Easter.
In celebrating springtime and the exuberance of the flowers that typically bloom in that season, and here with even greater intensity due to Madeira’s subtropical climate, Funchal is the setting for a truly sumptuous spectacle, the city’s Flower Festival.
The festivities begin on the Saturday, when thousands of children dressed in the appropriate fashion flock to the Praça do Município to take part in the building of a mural of flowers - the Wall of Hope.
The next day, dozens of floats decorated with a myriad of the island’s most typical flowers leave the scent of gentle but ephemeral perfumes in the air - it is time for the Flower Parade. At the same time, to mark the occasion, Madeiran artists devote their time to building unforgettable floral carpets, strategically exhibited in the streets at different points, whilst competitions are also organised to find the best decorated shop windows.
Come and experience the springtime here too!

Alentejo Wine Route
![]() |
©Vinhos do Alentejo |
This region, where the skyline extends as far as the eye can see, on which the cork oaks bestow a sense of strength and durability, was once an expanse of wheat fields. Today, the wheat fields have been replaced by vast vineyards, whose wines take in the power of the landscape and the heat, and can be counted amongst the most celebrated in Portugal.
Besides the Alentejo Regional Wine, which is found all over the region, wine producers are spread across 8 areas bearing a designation of origin - Portalegre, Borba, Redondo, Reguengos, Vidigueira, Évora, Granja/Amareleja and Moura, which allows for a diversity of choice anywhere in Alentejo.
The distinct characteristics of the soils according to area (granite, limestone, Mediterranean or schist), the long hours of exposure to the sun and a group of selected grape varieties enable high quality production, combined with the ability to preserve the tradition of flavour, while innovating in the art of winemaking.
There is a distinction between the white wines, which are aromatic, fresh and balanced, and the red wines, ruby- or garnet-coloured, which are more intense, full-bodied and at the same time smooth and slightly astringent.
To make the right choice and know what is the best pairing for a meal, there’s nothing better than visiting a wine cellar where you will be welcome by the most knowledgeable wine makers who are willing to enlighten you. You can also start at the Tasting Room (Sala de Provas) of the Alentejo Wine Route, in Évora, where several routes around the region will be suggested to you. It also gives you an opportunity to visit the city of Évora, which has World Heritage status.
Other alternative suggestions to get to know the secrets of the wine are to visit the Enoteca (Wine Shop) and the Wine Museum of Redondo or participate in the grape harvesting festivals in late summer, of which Borba is a good example with its Festa da Vinha e do Vinho (Vine and Wine Festival).
And if you add the delicious Alentejo cheeses and the fragrant flavours of the Alentejo cuisine to the wines, your visit will surely be richer and more complete.

Easter in Portugal
![]() |
|
Stroll along the beach with temperatures that are sometimes enough for sunbathing and a swim in the sea, especially in the Algarve and Madeira; or immerse yourself in Nature, which renews itself in Spring in an explosion of colour and aromas waiting to be discovered in the Natural Parks of the North and Centre, in the Alentejo or on the Azores islands.
And why not take the opportunity for a bit of shopping, looking for the new trends and collections in the quality shops of Lisbon and Porto? Or to enjoy the gastronomic delights such as almonds covered in sugar or chocolate and the delicious folares (traditional sweet or savoury Easter bread). And for Easter Sunday lunch, you must follow the example of most Portuguese homes and try the roast kid.
But Easter is a time of deep Catholic significance all over Portugal. In Braga, holy week is celebrated with heavy religious solemnity and its highlights are Maundy Thursday (The Last Supper and Jesus washes the disciples’ feet), Good Friday (crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ), Holy Saturday (ascension to heaven) and Easter Sunday itself (Resurrection). In Óbidos, the last moments of the life of Jesus Christ on the Sacred Road are recreated, and in Castelo de Vide Jewish traditions bring a rich tone to the celebrations.
In other parts of the country, there are other reasons to celebrate. In Loulé, it’s the Feast of the Sovereign Mother, which attracts many visitors; and in Constância, the colourful boat processions at the Festival of Our Lady of the Good Voyage. And these are just a few suggestions. You’ll be sure to discover many more! Why not schedule your trip now?

From 12 to 16 March don't miss the 2014 edition of BTL - Lisbon International Tourism Fair
Under the
theme ‘Tourism: The Smile Industry’ the 26th edition of BTL - Lisbon
International Tourism Fair, which takes place from 12 to 16 March at FIL
(Parque das Nações), pays tribute to hospitality, friendliness and the art of
welcoming, one of the strengths of national tourism, in an event where the
Meeting Industry (MI) segment and the Hosted Buyers programme have special
focus.
Promoted by the AIP Foundation, through AIP - Fairs, Conferences and Events, which this year made an overall investment of 1 million euros in the organisation of the exhibition, BTL 2014 will be attended by more than 1,000 companies and organisations, of which about 100 will be present for the first time. In this year’s event, the organisation aims to exceed the 65,000 visitors that attended the 2013 event.
Occupying
an area of 30,000 m2, BTL is held in 3 pavilions and an outdoor area. Pavilion
1 is for the entities promoting national tourism - regional directorates and
entities, as well as centres from north to south and from the islands.
Municipalities, accommodation offers and services are represented in Pavilion
2. In this pavilion, the space dedicated to gastronomic tourism will not go
unnoticed. This is one of the bulwarks of national tourism, both for the
diversity of flavours and combinations so typical of each region and for the
high quality of the products used in preparation, completed with the famous
Portuguese wines and traditional desserts.
The
international area, with operators, distributors, entertainment and services,
is in Pavilion 3, where 30 destinations will be represented: Angola, Brazil,
Cape Verde, Cuba, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Macau, Morocco, Mozambique, the
Dominican Republic, São Tomé, Taipei, Tunisia, Turkey, Andalusia, Formentera,
São Paulo, Andorra, Dubai, the USA, Russia.
This year,
Austria, Malaysia, Panama, Amazonas, Gramado, Vitória, Pará, Bosnia and
Herzegovina and the Philippines will be attending BTL for the first time.
The first
two days of BTL are reserved for professionals in the tourism sector, but the
exhibition will also be open to the general public on 14 March, from 6 pm.
At a time
when many Portuguese start planning their holidays, participating companies
take advantage of their participation to promote Easter campaigns and to
anticipate Summer offers, through exclusive BTL campaigns. During the weekend,
visitors have personalised service and have access to prices, promotions and
special offers, which in some cases can be up to 70% off.
Hosted Buyers Programme already has 400 entries
With an
estimated 2,500 foreign professionals expected to attend and more than 2,500
professional meetings expected to be held during the event, BTL will once again
be focusing strongly on its foreign buyers programme.
The Hosted
Buyers programme, organised by BTL in partnership with Turismo de Portugal and
TAP Portugal, aims to attract international buyers specifically interested in
the Portugal destination. So far, 400 Hosted Buyers are confirmed from various
segments, coming from markets as diverse as Germany, Austria, Belgium, Brazil,
Canada, Denmark, Spain, the USA, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Italy,
Norway, Poland, the UK, the Czech Republic, Russia, Sweden and Switzerland.
State of Amazonas and Azores are the guest
destinations at the 26th BTL
Reflecting
its focus on the theme of sustainability and ecotourism, a tourism segment that
has been showing increasing demand - according to the World Tourism
Organisation, the global growth of green travel is between 15 to 25% per year -
the Guest National Destination at this year’s 26th BTL will be the Azores
region.
The State
of Amazonas, the largest Brazilian Federal State, is the Guest International
Destination. The participation of the State of Amazonas will feature some
well-known attractions, as is the case of the shows with the bulls, Caprichoso
and Garantido. Its presence will be also marked by the presentation of the
first ecological soccer ball produced with rubber from the Amazon rainforest,
the Caramuri EcoBall.
Note that
this year the Brazil destination will be represented by several States on an
independent basis.
Meeting Industry booming at BTL
As BTL is
the largest national tourism fair and the largest international Portuguese
Language exhibition (10 billion km2 of Portuguese Language tourism) and a
privileged meeting point for CPLP tourism, the major focus of this year’s BTL
will be the Meeting Industry segment. This line has contributed to increased
offers from new exhibitors at the fair, such as operators and hotels,
particularly from Brazil.
CPLP and
Latin America Business Forums on the BTL Conferences agenda
Of the
conferences scheduled for the professional public, the organisation of BTL 2014
will be highlighting the I Forum of Business and Tourism Investments in the
CPLP, a joint initiative of the World Tourism Organisation (WTO) and the
Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP), which has the support of the
Secretary of State for Tourism in Portugal and the Lisbon Tourism Fair (BTL),
and the Latin America Forum, an event organized by IPDAL and BTL which will
bring Ambassadors from Latin America and tourism entrepreneurs and official
Portuguese entities together to promote the Portugal destination and the
development of synergies.
The 26th
Lisbon International Tourism Fair will be organising the BTL Blogger Travel
Awards 2014 for the first time. These are designed to reward the best travelblogs in Portugal and in the Portuguese language which stood out in 2013.
The awards
comprise four categories: Best Personal Travel Blog, Best Professional Travel
Blog, Best Travel Photography Blog and Best Travel Blog Elected by the Public.
Along with
the prizes for best travel blogs sponsored by BTL, on the 12th the fair will
host the award ceremony for the Publituris Portugal Trade Awards.
All in all,
in this the fourth year of the awards from Publituris magazine, there are 13
categories, including the Best Cruise Company, Best GSA Aviation or Best Space
for Events.
BTL supports Start-ups and SMEs
In 2014,
BTL is also seeking to establish itself as a reference business platform for
all start-ups and SMEs linked to the tourism sector and that want to make their
products and services known.
This year,
BTL has launched a programme of special conditions for start-ups in the tourism
area that are less than a year old and that have up to two workers, preferably
residing in business incubators. This measure at BTL 2014 is aimed at welcoming
new micro-enterprises, in the services and tourist facilities area, with very
favourable conditions.

International Tourism Fair - set up the BTL Club in order to create more
dynamics between theplayers in the sector, providing a unique opportunity to
discuss and conduct business, explore new markets and attract new customers,
