In addition to its natural charm, the gardens of Quinta Magnólia present, once again, all the glamour of that decade, in an atmosphere plenty of entertainment, period-dressed extras, gatherings and automobile- and lounge areas.

‘Classics in Magnolia’ was born in 2020, associated with the exhibition ‘Recomposition’, which took place in the cultural centre “Quinta Magnólia – Centro Cultural”, alluding to the contribution that Madeiran sculptor Ricardo Veloza has left us. Having achieved, from the outset, a notable success, the event allowed the assertion of a new event in the Autonomous Region of Madeira.
