An apology, described as "a kind of apology to Madeirans," has been published online, addressing the behavior of some visitors to the island.
The article notes that "the lads continue to post and promise to light no more fires," which is presented as good news. However, the same post includes a video showing individuals climbing trees in the Fanal area, a location known for its natural beauty and Laurissilva forest.
The original post, dated September 8, 2026, was accompanied by reader comments, some of which expressed disapproval of the tourists' actions.
