His Worship the Mayor, Anthony Lima will be travelling to Madeira today, where he will be undertaking a number of Official engagements.

A programme for his visit has been arranged by the Madeira Camara de Turismo, which includes a meeting with the Mayor of Funchal Senhor Filipe Machado de Albuquerque who will shortly be retiring. His Worship will also meet other officials. Discussions will centre on the possibility of giving further tangible effect to the Twinning arrangements with Gibraltar which were approved in 2009.

On Sunday His Worship will be a guest of honour at the Festa Da Flor Parade. On Monday afternoon he will meet up with Mr Louis Pereira who once again this year is leading a group from Gibraltar on a visit to Madeira. Together, they will all attend a Madeira da Honra Reception which is being organised by the Mayor of Funchal in their honour.

His Worship returns to Gibraltar on Wednesday.
