In Santa Quitéria you will find the biggest shopping centre on the island, a spacious complex with unique features and many fabulous offers. Consisting of 83 shops, Madeira Shopping has a leisure area with 20 restaurants, a nice terrace with sea view, 7 cinemas and Microlândia (bowling, virtual reality machines and mini golf). The good thing for tourists in Portugal when it comes to movies is that the original version of the films are shown with Portuguese subtitles, so you can understand what is happening on the screen. This shopping centre has 976 free parking spaces and provides complimentary busses that make their rounds according to a set schedule, passing at some of the hotels and public bus stops to collect those who want to visit the centre. With the design of this shopping centre the architects pursued the idea of reflecting the image and the characteristics of this island with all the contrasts and beauty Madeira has to offer. That is why outside at the main entrance you will find a little village consisting of small Madeira houses (you will see these houses in the most hidden and incredible places on the island) that offer services like banking, cafés and a post office. There is also reference to Madeira’s highlights, the ‘levadas’, as at the main entrance you will find a typical water channel ending inside the centre in a lake covered with strong glass, which visitors can wander over. And last but not least, Madeiran flowers and plants also play a very important part throughout the interior decoration. Welcome to Madeira Shopping! |
