Madeira Flower Festival 2012/Gloriosa
My heart is painted green and blue!
Green, from the green hills, where the sun brightens the north.
Blue, from the blue seas, that extends to the affectionate sky.
Mountains and valleys sleep tenderly in my heart.
Where linen embroiderers wait for their men to arrive from the sea.
The same men who dig and harvest our farms.
I want to keep this blooming spring from my island!
It is green and blue that my heart is painted!
I want so deeply to feel that there will always be joy on being a Madeira Native. I proudly observe my land, the churches, the roses blooming, the hope that the color green brings to us, the lavish blue sea, these are the colors of the island that I love.
This great Island that makes my home and I filled with life, making everyone happy.
I leave here my tribute with all sorts of colors transmitting bliss to my special island and all its inhabitants.

Madeira Wine Festival 2012/Malvasia
The Malvasia caste was the first one being planted at Madeira Island. The Malvasia was produced by the Jesuit priests during the XVIII century and it is considered the king of wines of all the Madeira Wine production and the richest one. Therefore we picked the name Malvasia for this project where the Wine is the king and our girls are the queens!
