As you fly in, you notice houses As you fly in, you notice houses
Interesting houses
...with birds on the roof
Funchal is built-up
...but with charming pavements
...elegant Jacaranda trees
...and a fruit market
Locals drag tourists around
...but some roads are too bumpy
The villages are more relaxed
...and traditional
The approach is like a ski run
e.g. The Porto Moniz path
Our hotel is in the middle
...with a rocky swimming pool
...protected from the waves
