Marina do Funchal Gains 33 New Commercial Spaces

All of the new spaces have already been allocated through public tenders, for a total of 33 units. Some of the shops will also offer public entertainment, alongside other services meant to draw more people to the marina.

The spaces were awarded strictly on the strength of each bidder's proposal in the public tender. No other factor played a role, according to the report.

Four Restaurants and Three Bars Join the Marina

The new commercial area includes four restaurants and three bars, plus a number of shops. Some units are already open, while others are still being finished.

The marina will also have a supermarket, a mini-market and a laundry, among other services. These are meant for the boats that stop and dock there, but also for visitors and the general public.

All Spaces Set to Open by the End of November

The expectation is that the entire area will be up and running by the end of the month. Several entertainment initiatives are also planned, to attract visitors and showcase the renovated space.
