A sweeter Solar do Ribeirinho

By 6 Fevereiro, 2017727 Comments

Solar do Ribeirinho, in Machico will keep the exhibit “Quotidiano da Época do Açucar no Território da Antiga Capitania de Machico” (Day to day life in the sugar age in the territory of the old Machico captaincy) visitable until April 20th.

The exhibit, at the temporary exhibits room at the Solar do Ribeirinho, aims at capturing the cultural and economic influences in the captaincy of Machico derived from the wealth generated by the sugar trade, commonly referred to as “white gold”.

Of that period, there are multiple examples, in economic, social and religious elements, with some of these being shown in the exhibit, illustrating the great wealth generated by the captaincy.

There is also a catalogue, that is to be presented on March 28th.
