What to expect

Tucked away in the green hills of Madeira is the village of Santana, home to the 24 Hours of Dancing Festival. This vibrant celebration is all about Madeiran culture, with local folk groups taking the spotlight in colourful traditional dress, dancing to the sounds of classic Portuguese instruments. With this transfer ticket, all you'll need to do is arrive ready to soak it all in and dance the night away.

You'll be picked up from your hotel and driven straight into the heart of the action in Santana. Once you're there, you'll see folk dance performances from groups across the island, each bringing their own flair and energy to the stage. The atmosphere is electric and the scent of local dishes from the food stalls only adds to the lively vibes. Why not try sizzling espetada – Madeira's famous marinated beef skewers grilled over open flames – or grab a warm bolo do caco, a flatbread slathered in garlic butter. There's no shortage of sweet treats either, and you can wash it all down with a glass of poncha, a traditional sugarcane rum cocktail, or a locally brewed beer.
