Historical dances at Solar de São Cristóvão in Machico

Dancers from the Baile Histórico cultural association perform historical dances at Solar de São Cristóvão in Machico on Tuesday 17 November at 11:30. Entry is free and open to everyone, and there is nothing to reserve: turn up before the start. It is part of the regional culture department's push to take events out of Funchal and into the other municipalities, so it is a chance to see the old manor house in use rather than just from the outside. A weekday-morning slot means a mostly local audience; if you are staying in the east of the island or passing through Machico that day, it is an easy cultural stop to combine with the bay and the old town.
