On this island of eternal spring, nature expresses itself with rare intensity: lush laurel forests thriving in the subtropical climate, secret levadas where waters murmur softly, and vibrant gardens suspended above the sea. Its villages, with their red-tiled roofs clinging to the mountainsides, radiate warmth and hospitality.
Bridge players know exactly why they return year after year, flocking to the VidaMar Hotel overlooking the ocean and enjoying the playing conditions carefully crafted by a delighted organizer, Miguel Teixeira. The numbers are as dizzying as the cliffs plunging straight into the Atlantic: 372 pairs registered in the Open Pairs event over three sessions, and 174 teams in the Open Teams! Space is at a premium…
