- Madeira.
Great panoramic shots of the island of Madeira - sea, villages, banana trees. Men are seen harvesting bananas - cutting and carrying large, heavy bunches. Cut to tourist attractions of Madeira's capital Funchal. Tourists are transported in a vehicle similar to rickshaw. Several shots of Funchal. Funny vehicles - bullock carts are seen on streets.
Various shots of tourists enjoying their holidays, Girls are carried in swings, people are seen swimming and sunbathing in and around hotel pool - lucky people.
Scenic shot of Madeira's great vineyards. Madeira is famous for its wine - voiceover says. Succession of shots of wine making: harvesting, pressing, distilling, making barrels, bottling, packing, tasting and consuming wine at folk dancing fiesta - nice mixture of ancient and modern. Succession of shots of people in traditional dress dancing while tourists sip great Madeira wine while watching them.
What I like the most about this travelogue is beautiful folk music - particularly the song accompanying wine making.

I left madeira at age of 17, living in Newcastle for 50years but I will never forget where I was born x
My parents are from Madeira. I was raised in San Francisco but I love going to the place
Of my family origin
@@dsouza4746 same but French, here. Don't remember having ever seen an effing ox towing tourists on skis, seriously what is that ? Even my mother says she never seen that, ever.
Madeira wine super good but expensive,
I go to Madeira every summer and haven’t seen that either. In two weeks I’m going to Lisboa w my wife to find a retirement beach house… going back to my roots now that I am about to retire.
😎🤪
Lisbon is like pakistan now in some areas.
Porto, foura doura, edphino, some really nice beaches and properties very cheap.
Places like faro is for billionaires.@@dsouza4746
blazed for 7 years dam
So beautiful!
Thanks
Interesting to watch how upperclass people would turn so much into their own amusement park already in 1968.
Some things never change..
Already? That was the history of the world up to and including that period, and still is. Of course you are leaving out the fact that most of the island’s economy stems from the wine industry and tourism. Would you shut it down? Then what would happen the people who live there? There’s nothing wrong in working hard to produce a good product that happens to be in demand brother. The working class aren’t victims. They go on vacations too where they do business with other working class people who do the same. See how this works.
Muito bom Doc.
I was there in 1967.
Draft dodger 😂
@@latvialava6644 Yeah
@@ATINKERER oh, I'm really sorry 😅 i was just quite curious as it's been almost more than 8 years when u first posted this comment
@@ATINKERER I'm really sorry
@@latvialava6644 I don't see anything that you should be sorry for. By the way, I just happened to have had a few sips of Madeira Bual yesterday. You should try some. Take care.
Great quality🤪
can anybody tell me the song being played from 3.20? thanks.
Bailinho da Madeira
Someone please tell me the name of the song at 3:27
Bailinho da Madeira
The original film featured tourists traveling by rickshaw, from sea level to 5,400', while urging the servants on by whipping them with small 'switches' or branches of the local bamboo. It was horrible to watch, but you realize Madeira is not Europe.
Link to original film of whipping servants are you sure? its 1968 not 1868
Cristiano Ronaldo was born here
