Funchal is shaking up the nightlife scene! 🌙🍹

New regulations are on the way, and starting soon, only licensed nightclubs will be able to keep the party going until 6 AM.

For all other venues, the doors will close by 2 AM, and even that will be a rare exception! ⏰

The rules from 2015 are getting a major update, with different hours based on the type of business and location. Stay tuned for more details as Funchal redefines its nightlife!

🚨 Fire in Ribeira Brava—Still Uncontrolled!

🔥 A forest fire, detected yesterday in Ribeira Brava at the Furna site, continues to rage. Firefighter teams from two corporations have been working tirelessly, some monitoring the area throughout the night.

👩‍🚒 The Volunteer Firefighters of Ribeira Brava and Ponta do Sol, along with the Madeiran Volunteer Firefighters, are heading back to battle the flames. Civil Protection's helicopter may be deployed if the situation demands.

Last night, they managed to get the fire under control, but efforts to fully extinguish it are ongoing. Stay safe! 🚒 #Madeira #RibeiraBrava

Madeirans will still need to pay full price for trips to the mainland! ✈️****

💡 A new model for the social mobility subsidy is in place, but residents of Madeira must continue to cover the cost of traveling between Madeira, mainland Portugal, and the Azores.

🚀 The only real change for now? The refund process will become digital, simplifying things. No more dealing with CTT and its paperwork! The Regional Government, represented by Eduardo Jesus, hasn’t given up on ensuring that Madeirans pay just €86 for a round trip, though this has been promised for years. 🙌

🏅 Speaking at the tourism merit awards, the regional tourism secretary highlighted the aim of reducing bureaucracy. The goal is to make life easier by utilizing tech for the refund process and eliminating paperwork. This tech solution has long been proposed by Madeira to the national government. 💻

🔍 The working group reviewing the social mobility subsidy hasn’t finished yet, and there’s hope for more resident-friendly procedures in the future! 💪
