Enjoying enchanting Madeira in 1967 (1) 

I arrived by ship in 1969, fell in love with Madeira, bought land, built house and have been here ever since. Thank you Madeira for taking care of me all these years.

I am from Madeira, born in 1991 and it is wonderful to see a video like this, to get to know my beautiful island many years before I was born. A lot of things have changed but also a lot of things, buildings and traditions remain the same. Noticing that many thing are still the same after many years makes me feel proud of living in Madeira. Even though after 21 years living there, I had to come to the United Kingdom to find a job as a nurse. I miss my beautiful Madeira! And again, thank you so much for sharing this video!

I visited the island with my parents - who are from Madeira - 2 years later. Your movies bring back wonderful recollections. Thank you so much.

beautiful scenery and lovely music. How lovely those days were. We should appreciate the producer of this film bringing back the time to us. How I wish we still belong to those lovely pass. 1967 I was 7 years old and a primary school student with good academy result

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video of my birth island I was 14 years of age at the time the video was taken I am now 60 years old and have been living in South Africa since my mom and dav emigrated sadly they have both passed away and I have visited the island 3 times since living In SA I still remember certain parts if the video especially the flowers and the sellers and the bulls etc very good memories love my birthplace thank you

Thank you for sharing these videos of the island where I was born in 1972. Although he had not yet been born, they are images of my childhood memories of my trips to Funchal. I have to go back there this summer =)!

thank you!!!!

Enchanting!

I was there at the end of June in 1967. I was on the SS Independence.

In the year i was born :-)

very nice

All I can say is - Brilliant, fantastic footage and video. I first visited Madeira in 1972 with my parents (who were originally from there, but have been in the UK since 1959). Lovely to see how the island looked many years ago and even though a lot of it has changed, some of the locations/attractions still look the same. Well done Mr Rogge - truly awesome video. I love the island and each time the plane takes off from the runway at Funchal, it brings a tear to my eye!! Do you have any old footage of the New Year's Eve fireworks, as although we go to the island every year to see the display, it would be interesting to see what the end of year fireworks looked like many years ago. Keep up the good work

Let us go!

This film was taken a year after my departure from Madeira to the Channel Islands!

I've always imagined that Madeira in the 1960's would look a lot more decadent and poor (it was the poorest region in the poorest country in Europe at that time, fortunately that changed), remarkably, from the images I saw, the streets were clean (apart from the cow dumpings), the buildings seemed to be maintained and there were a lot more cars than I could have imagined. The traditional Madeiran rural accent hasn't changed a bit, you can hear it at 04:11, the man says: "aquele cavalo ainda vai chegar a minha idade", a loose translation to English, it means something like: "that horse will live up to my [current] age" 09:00 Nacional Sports Club (www.cdnacional.pt) was playing against some other team (probably União da Madeira Football club pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clube_de_Futebol_União ). 12:19 Curral da Freiras en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curral_das_Freiras 13:20 Carros de Cesto do Monte, it still exist, but now they slide faster: pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carros_de_cesto_do_Monte 15:20 "Shell" no longer operates in Madeira (only BP, Repsol and Galp) Madeira's Population number is roughly the same: 260 000 people.

solo falto um viajecito a puerto santo .tiene una playa maravilosa 9 km

This was filmed march 1967, abt 3 to 4 weeks later my mum gave birth to a lovely baby girl. Lol x

Thank you very much Mr. MichaelRogge. you reminded me of my childhood I was born in 1965 but remember much, it was a big surprise. If you appear in the video which is it?

There was a Travelogue film made called I Believe Isle of flowers ilha des flores in 1966 or later by a Portuguese company in Lisbon.Can anyone help me find this Film ? could be 1966/67/68 . Most grateful for any help where i might go to an archive of such travelogues. I have already gone through ALL that is available so far on this web site and pages.... thank you.
