On this day, there was a parade with the crews of the Funchal 500 Tallships race.
Downtown had a special animation, also with some 'Tunas' (University musical groups which sing and play tradicional songs and student songs, with lots of animation and bottles...) :)) |
This one was a spanish 'Tuna' which came to Madeira to participate in the meeting.
|
Meanwhile, the parade had already started. Here, the crew from the Uruguayan ship, 'Capitan Miranda'
|
The National crew, from 'Creoula'
|
The mexican crew was one of the most amazing (as well as its ship).
They came really like a military parade, totally aligned and on full display power. |
|
|
The mexican crew was amazing also because they could be very 'straight' but also very funny. This one was representing the bow statue of the ship!
|
...they also brought some 'great' mexican music, quite loud!! ;))
|
The russian crew from the 'MIR'...they looked quite young...
|
Big hats!! (some could use some washing...
|
One of the civilian crews....quite happy they were...
|
Russian crew from the 'Sedov'...Black hats for these ones...
|
One the most animated crews also..the Oman crew....
|
Yeah...I guess it's easy to see they're from the far east...quite animated also..
|
Meanwhile, the man that started all, was watching.
I'm talking about the statue of Gonçalves Zarco, one of the discoverers of Madeira Island. |
Another one for the Oman crew.
|
Big flag for Russia
|
Guess from where....
|
Like I said, quite happy and animated....
|
Finnaly they gathered in front of the City Hall for the prizes...
|
 |
I wasn't present at the parade, but it looks like it was fun!
