The sentence “you can now release the fireworks” belongs to one of the best known Madeirans anywhere. Today Cristiano Ronaldo will be in the island that saw him born, but it isn’t likely that there’ll be a repetition of the 2008 sentence, when he won the first of the four “Ballon d’Or” in his CV – and in his museum.

Tonight, nine cruise ships, and thousands of tourists and locals, from the whole island, will be waiting for the beginning of the fireworks, shot from 37 different posts throughout and around the city, the seafront and the sea itself.

Tonight is also the anniversary of the Madeira firewoks to the Guinness Book of Records as the biggest fireworks display on Earth.

There are to be 25 posts around the city, 8 on the seafront and 4 at sea.
