This is an excellent area to visit whilst you are in Funchal .The eccentric artwork painted on the old doors is a delight.

A lunch or dinner in this area is well worth your while as there is a vast choice of restaurants. The architecture is great finishing with a wonderful church up the hill at the end where you will find a great café at the lido.
