It is not every day that we are given the opportunity to return to the land where we grew up and are challenged to look at it, perceive it and interpret it in a new way.
Luís Araújo grew up in Madeira and returned to Sketch Tour Reload, accompanied by a creative team whose mission was to show the most beautiful aspects of the island. As Gabriel Garcia Marquez once said, “life is not what you live, but what you tell”, the island that Luís designed during these days will be the one that will be etched forever.
An unapologetic nature, the exotic atmosphere in the air, the seductive aromas of forest, flowers and sea make Madeira a challenge to all the senses.
Follow us and discover Madeira according to Luís Araújo’s pencil.
