“If you walk to central Funchal from the Hotel Zone on a regular basis you will soon get to know this public park on the hillside overlooking the harbour. A mini botanical garden, it contains a number of fine specimen trees planted in the late 1940s when the garden was converted frm a disused cemetery.
Fountains and aviaries dot the park as well as some industrial reics – a steamroller and a sugar-cane-mil, for example.” (Pg. 42 – 43)
