If you were wondering what to do in Madeira in November 2017, well, you’ve come to the right place because we are going to try to find out for you.

November seems like the least interesting month of the year from the tourist perspective – probably at a tie with February; it’s cold and nobody travels… or do they? The truth is that Madeira still displays exceptionally nice weather, even in November (at any rate, much nicer compared to other sides of the world), so you will love traveling here at a low cost even in the third and last month of autumn.

Traveling to Madeira Island during the low season will always be a good getaway. Here are some of the events to be looking forward to in November:

Funchal International Film Festival will take place in the island’s capital city, Funchal, between November 14 and 20 2017. This event will welcome a lot of foreign and local visitors, all lovers of movies. It is sponsored by the Madeira Regional Government in an attempt to promote local tourism and events, but also independent filmmaking.

If you thought Madeira is nothing but an exotic destination, you couldn’t be more wrong. The cultural life of the island is very important and if you want to sample this, you can attend the Madeira Piano Fest 2017 held on November 4th to 12th at the Baltazar Dias Municipal Theatre. So if you want to listen to some classical music and some piano acoustics, this is your chance.

How about chestnuts? “Roasting by an open fire” as the song goes or not, you’ve got to love them if you are in Madeira. Festa da Castanha is virtually a November constituent in Madeira. There are several venues and activities scheduled for the month all around the island. The beginning of November in Curral das Freiras marks the annual festivity of this popular fruit. But the Serra do Campanario Ribeira Brava is also a fine option.

You can explore them all with Madeira car rental.
