When trying to dene Madeira as a tourist destination it is important to

remember that the island has always lived from the combination of three

key factors : nature, history and geographical location. It was above all

the position of this small spit of land in the immensity of the ocean that

ensured its role in the course of world history from the XVth century on-

wards. These were the rst islands discovered by the Portuguese, the rst

to be colonised, the testing ground for agricultural products, administra-

tive models, habits and customs that spread throughout the world from

this point. Ships travelling to and from Europe passed by the island, bring-

ing people from all backgrounds who, inevitably, left their mark. Thanks to

these ships people from Madeira emigrated all over the planet, returning

with new habits and enriching life on the island. On account of the happy

coincidence of its exceptional geographical location, Madeira lay on the

maritime routes around the world. Madeira continues to be an importantstopping point for shipping and this has made it what it is today. This

cultural miscellany made its mark and, over 600 years, has conferred a

certain cosmopolitan quality on the island and its people. In addition to

this, the cultural and social evolution of the island has progressed hand in

hand with nature, blessed as it is with a temperate climate and a unique

forest, which is its principal distinguishing feature. The island also enjoys a

long-standing tradition of tourism, which has existed in an organised formfor two centuries. However, the island has always attracted visitors espe-

cially on account of its exoticism so close to Europe and its breathtaking

landscapes, which are accessible without having to travel to remote points

of the planet. But again it was its proximity to Europe and its climate that

destined Madeira to become the place recommended by doctors for cur-

ing the sick, especially those suffering from tuberculosis. One of the most

notable gures of this period was Empress Sissi of the Austro-Hungarian

Empire. For all these reasons Funchal is an Atlantic city, not only because

it is the oldest European colony amongst the Atlantic islands but, above

all, because it is a melting pot of our world : it is European but at the same

time exotic, it has touches of colonial heritage and is rich in historical

legacy as can be seen in the diversity of physical types that can be found

here. The concept of an Atlantic city and culture is still being developed by

academics but it is no doubt felt by all who visit the island. Madeira is a

kind of half way house that connects the old world to the new, a symbio-

sis that, over the centuries, the island and its inhabitants have been able

to absorb. It embodies tradition and modernity, history and nature and,

above all, is a unique case of diversity.

One of the reasons for the Algarvesworldwide fame as a tourist destina-tion is its climate along with its goldenbeaches, clear waters and a cuisine in-spired by the sea since it is, of course,a prime shing area.

Amongst the places that stand out, Al-bufeira takes pride of place insofar as

it is considered the tourist capital ofthe Algarve. The city not only offers awide range of services but also peaceand quiet for those looking for sometranquility.

de ser vista como a capital turstica doAlgarve. No s uma cidade com umadiversicada oferta de servios, comoconsegue garantir uma atmosfera maistranquila, para quem o deseja.

In addition to the sun, beach and golf - theAlgarves trademarks - there is a lot more todo here throughout the whole year. Albufeiraalso has culture and tradition. Since the midXIXth century its history has been forged bythe shing trade and by the blows of naturaldisasters such as the 1755 earthquake whichdestroyed Lisbon and whose tsunami alsodestroyed this city and its Mother Church.

Built at the end of the XVIIIth

century, thecurrent church is one of the places worthvisiting. Neoclassical in style, it consists of anave, four side chapels, a christening chapel,two pulpits and two lateral halls. Above themain door and the triumphal arch one cansee the cross of the Order of Aviz, an organ-isation that combined religious and militaryvocations in the Portugal of the Middle Agesand to whose knights the castle and defenceof the city was handed after the Portugueseconquered the Moors in 1250. The castle nolonger dominates the citys landscape - now

there are just a few remains that insist onresisting human progress.However, the Moorish presence continuesto be associated to Albufeiras history. Evenbefore Portugal came into existence the Al-garve was a Moorish kingdom and this placewas known by its Arab name Al-buherawhich means castle of the sea.The Clock Tower is considered the citysemblem. The echoes of its bell, protectedand adorned with an iron crown since theXIXth century, preserves the citys iden-tity. Its relationship with the sea is another

dominant characteristic. This can be felt inthe shing boats, beaches or even in thetones of the rock escarpments dotted alongthe coast.Further inland Albufeiras colours change;the landscape is covered in fruit trees, inparticular g, almond and orange trees. Thepresence of the latter is as old as the historyof the Algarve.Due to its location more or less in the midd-le of the Algarve coast, Albufeira is an ex-cellent point of departure to explore theAlgarve where there is lots to do. A good

example is Ria Formosa, a reference pointin southern Portugals landscape. This isa marsh area where fresh and sea watersmerge around small banks of sand coveredwith vegetation that provide a natural para-dise for water animals and birds.There are many ways of enjoying Ria For-mosa, a nature reserve subject to strictenvironmental conservation rules. Photo-graphy, water sports, simple contemplationor, highly recommended, a boat trip withbiologist guides who can explain the envi-ronmental importance of the tidal inlets na-

ture. Several companies offer these kinds ofservices but ideally it is best not to do thiswith a boat load of tourists but rather in atypical Algarve shing boat with only a fewpassengers, a skipper with a good know-ledge of Ria Formosa and a biologist.

Alm do sol, da praia e do golfe que so asimagens que marcam o Algarve, h muitomais para fazer por aqui, ao longo de todo oano. Albufeira tambm cultura e tradio. uma cidade com uma histria compostapela pesca, desde meados do sculo XIX epela dureza das catstrofes naturais, comoo terremoto de 1755 que, destruiu a cidadede Lisboa e cujo maremoto destruiu tambm

esta localidade, incluindo a Igreja Matriz.A atual igreja, construda no nal do scu-lo XVIII, um dos locais dignos de visitar.Tem um estilo neoclssico, com uma nave,quatro capelas laterais, a capela batismal,dois plpitos e duas salas laterais. No topoda porta principal e do arco triunfal pode sever a cruz da Ordem de Aviz, organizaoque conciliava vocaes religiosas e milita-res no Portugal da Idade Mdia e a cujosCavaleiros, o castelo e as defesas da cidadeforam entregues, aps a conquista pelosportugueses aos muulmanos, em 1250. O

castelo j no domina a paisagem da cida-de, restando apenas vestgios que teimamem resistir ao progresso humano. A presena muulmana continua ligada histria de Albufeira. Antes mesmo de existirPortugal, o Algarve era um reino muulmanoe esta localidade tinha o nome rabe de Al-buhera, que quer dizer castelo do mar.A Torre do Relgio considerada o smbolode Albufeira. O eco do seu sino, desde osculo XIX protegido e adornado com umacoroa de ferro, preserva a identidade da ci-dade. A relao com o mar outro ponto

dominante. Se nota nos barcos de pesca,nas praias ou mesmo nos tons da rocha dasescarpas que pontuam a costa.Mais para o interior, Albufeira tem outrastonalidades, com a paisagem coberta dervores frutferas, onde se destacam as -gueiras, as amendoeiras ou as laranjeiras. Apresena destas ltimas to antiga quantoa histria do Algarve.Pela sua localizao, mais ou menos ao meioda costa do Algarve, Albufeira um exce-lente ponto de partida para explorar o Al-garve onde h muito para fazer. Um grande

exemplo a Ria Formosa, uma referncia napaisagem do Sul de Portugal. uma zonaalagada, onde guas doces e salgadas seencontram, rodeando pequenos bancos deareia, cobertos de vegetao, que funcio-nam como um paraso natural para espciesaquticas e para aves. So vrias as formasde usufruir da Ria Formosa, um parque na-tural, sujeito a fortes regras de proteoambiental. Fotograas, esportes nuticos,uma simples contemplao, ou sobretudoum passeio de barco, onde guias bilogosexplicam o valor ambiental da Natureza da

Ria. Vrias empresas oferecem este tipo deservios, mas o ideal faz-lo no num bar-co cheio de turistas, mas sim numa embarca-o de pesca tpica do Algarve, com poucospassageiros, um comandante que conheceprofundamente a Ria Formosa e um bilogo.

Another attraction close to Albufeira is theParque Temtico Zoomarine (Marine Zoo).It is built around the theme of The Life ofthe Oceans and occupies more than 8 hec-tares full of attractions including an aquar-ium that reproduces around 20 marine eco-systems, a show with dolphins and a cinemapromoting environmental messages. The

educational component is very important,attracting both children and parents. Thereis a single admission ticket that entitles theholder to enjoy all the attractions and takea turn around the world of marine diversity.Perhaps the most unexpected aspect of thisalternative tour is realising that the Algarveis a destination where one can view andpurchase high quality art. The reason forthis is that over the last decades the speciallight and temperate climate have attracteda growing number of international and Por-tuguese artists with a wide range of talents.

As a result numerous galleries and art shopshave sprung up, exhibiting and selling a di-verse selection of works of art. And it is notalways necessary to spend a fortune to getthe best. The Algarve has many excellentmunicipal galleries that exhibit the work ofresident painters and sculptors from abroadwho organise individual and group exhibi-tions on a regular basis.But for buying art, the situation is differ-ent. In this case - and even if you are not abuyer - it is worth visiting the Centro Cul-tural So Loureno, which has made a very

important contribution to the Algarvescultural life since it was established in 1981by the now deceased Volker Huber and hiswife, Marie.Nowadays it is considered one of the coun-trys best private galleries. Now managedby Marie, it is located on a picturesqueconverted quinta (farm) next to the verybeautiful So Loureno Chapel on the out-skirts of Almancil, close to the EN 125 exit.With the passing of time it has acquired anoutstanding reputation for showing contem-porary art by internationally renowned art-

ists as well as by burgeoning talents.Well-established names that offer a rela-tively secure investment include the Germanpainter A.R. Penck, the famous painter, writ-er and Nobel Prize winner, Gunther Grass,the Portuguese sculptors Joo Cutileiro andJos de Guimares, the Portuguese painter,Manuel Baptista, the internationally re-nowned Spanish painter Antoni Tapies andthe English sculptor Jeff Lowe.Covering 4,500 m2 the centre is very at-tractive. It includes six galleries, patios andample verandas and a very well cared for

sculpture garden. Since it was founded SoLoureno has hosted hundreds of exhibi-tions, classical music concerts and poetryreadings.

Uma outra atrao, disponvel muito prxi-ma de Albufeira, o Parque Temtico Zoo-marine. Tem como tema A Vida dos Ocea-nos, e se estende por uma rea superiora 8 hectares, cheios de atraes, que vodesde um aqurio que reproduz cerca de20 ecossistemas marinhos, a um espetcu-lo com golnhos, passando por um cinemacom mensagens ambientais. O lado educati-

vo muito importante e um fator que atraias crianas e os pais. O acesso se faz comum nico bilhete, que permite desfrutar detodas as atraes e dar uma volta ao Mundoda diversidade marinha.Porventura o aspecto mais inesperado des-te roteiro alternativo ver o Algarve comoum destino onde se pode admirar e adquirirpeas de arte de qualidade. Isto porque aluminosidade especial e o clima temperadotm atrado, nas ltimas dcadas, um n-mero crescente de artistas internacionais eportugueses com talentos variados.

Este fato resultou no aparecimento de nu-merosas galerias e outras casas comerciaisque expem e vendem arte de uma linhavariada. E nem sempre preciso gastarfortunas para se ter o melhor. As inme-ras galerias municipais do Algarve so ex-celentes para ver o trabalho dos pintorese escultores estrangeiros residentes, queregularmente se apresentam em exposiesindividuais ou coletivas.Mas para a compra de arte a situao di-ferente. A vale a pena visitar, mesmo queseja para no comprar, o Centro Cultural

So Loureno, que deu uma contribuiomuito importante na vida cultural do Algar-ve desde a sua fundao em 1981, pelo fale-cido Volker Huber e pela sua mulher Marie.Hoje, considerada uma das melhores ga-lerias privadas do pas. Dirigido agora porMarie, situa-se numa original chcara re-modelada, junto belssima capela de SoLoureno, nos arredores de Almancil, na sa-da da EN 125. Com o passar dos anos, foiadquirindo uma reputao fora do comumpor apresentar arte contempornea de ar-tistas de renome internacional, bem como

de talentos a despontar.Entre os nomes bem estabelecidos, queconstituem um investimento relativamenteseguro, encontram-se o pintor alemo A.R. Penck, o famoso pintor e escritor PrmioNobel alemo Gunther Grass, os escultoresportugueses Joo Cutileiro e Jos de Guima-res, o pintor portugus Manuel Baptista,o pintor espanhol de renome internacionalAntoni Tapies e o escultor ingls Jeff Lowe.A rea de 4.500 m2 do centro particular-mente atrativa. Tem seis galerias, ptios evarandas espaosos e um jardim de escul-

turas muito bem tratado. Desde que se es-tabeleceu, o So Loureno realizou centenasde exposies, concertos de msica clssicae declamaes de poesia.

16 . new year in rio de janeiro and madeira . ..

There are two words that can describeNew Year in Madeira and Rio de Janeiro:black and white! These two destinationsshare the privilege of organising two of

the biggest New Year celebrations in theworld - both with reworks and lots ofpeople gathered round a bay. Every-thing else is different especially as inMadeira, in the northern hemisphere, itis winter and in Rio de Janeiro, Decem-ber marks the beginning of summer.But the choice of black and white todescribe these two events is not bychance. In Madeira New Years Eve isa gala night with a long-standing tradi-

tion that goes back to 1920. Black re-calls the elegance of dinner jackets andladies outts, the glamour of the dancehalls and the age-old fame of one of theoldest European tourist destinations.In Rio de Janeiro white represents thepurity of a festival of light and joywhich, in true informal Brazilian style,brings together thousands of people(just visitors to the city number over600 thousand people) on Copacabanabeach. The signicance of wearing whiterepresents feeling good with life andstepping into the New Year with joy. This is a popular festival that attractspeople of all races and social statuseswho mingle in an enormous sea of hu-manity that completely blocks out thesea-front promenade and sand on thebeach. It is summer and it is hot !! Atmidnight tons of reworks go off overthe bay to the sound of music.

In Madeira the music is made with thethunder of the reworks that showerthe sky from dozens of places in thebay of Funchal and surrounding amphi-theatre. The cruise ships horns maketheir contribution, blowing withoutinterruption during the show which isconsidered the most spectacular in theworld on account of the density of re-works released in a short space of time.However, New Year in Madeira is notonly about hotels and dances. It is alsoa popular festival. In houses with a viewof the bay the important thing is not tobe alone and to party. The 10 minutes

of reworks are the high point of theevening but dances and gatherings takeplace throughout the whole city. It is aunique experience.

Albufeira assumes the responsibility of organ-ising the biggest New Year celebrations in theAlgarve. In addition to reworks on Praia dosPescadores, which attract thousands of people,there are concerts by well-known Portugueseand international bands. This is the more popularaspect of an event that is complemented by galadinners and dances in hotels.

In So Paulo the New Years Eve party happensright on Avenida Paulista. Thousands of people,always ready to dance the samba, gather to seein the new year to the sound of hot rhythms.On the stroke of midnight reworks ll the skiesof the city . .. and the new year is given a trulynoisy and multi-coloured welcome !!

In Bzios you can see in the New Year while

enjoying the heat of the summer and the calmof a small city that is a Brazilian paradise on ac-count of the beauty of its beaches and surround-ing nature. In this holiday destination the bestis to experience the New Year in a hotel wherethe warmth of Brazil, both in terms of peopleand temperature, is markedly present.

theheartthatneverskipsabeat...

Latin Americas largest city offers awhole arrray of leisure options. Count-less alternatives are available for allwho want to enjoy themselves, shopand eat well.

Choosing is the problem.In the grand metropolis, one of thesouthern hemispheres main economiccentres, you will be invariably con-fronted with a dilemma : where to be-gin? So Paulo is one of the few citiesin the world that is home to typicalimmigrant neighbourhoods such as theJapanese Liberdade, Italian Bom Retiro,extending to the Bolivian and KoreanBrs and Bexiga. This inuence of for-eign cultures makes for a wide rangeof activities. Consequently we have se-lected a few of the best which will allow

you to get a taste of So Paulo. We willtry to point you in the best directionbut be aware: to really get to know SoPaulo well you will have to come backagain and again. Many times over.

24/84

For art and culture the best is to startwith a visit to Parque do Ibirapuerawhere, apart from admiring the naturalbeauty of the place as you walk or bikearound, you can also visit the Plan-etrio (Planetarium) and MAM-Museude Arte Moderna (Modern Art Museum)amongst other attractions. On your tourdont miss a visit to the city centre with

a stop at Marco Zero de So Paulo(geographical centre), Catedral da S(Cathedral See) and the Mosteiro deSo Bento (Monastery). Other mustsinclude the Estao da Luz (train sta-tion), Sala So Paulo (concert hall), Pi-nacoteca do Estado (museum), EstaoJlio Prestes (train station that housesSala So Paulo) and the very beautiful

Teatro Municipal (Municipal Theatre). Another of the citys visiting cards isthe famous, bustling Avenida Paulista.Here you can admire the architecture ofthe high buildings, visit exhibitions atthe MASP-Museu de Arte de So Paulo(museum) and check out the culturalprogramme at FIESP or Ita Cultural.While you are in the vicinity, take theopportunity to visit some of the surr-ounding neighbourhoods such as Bela

Vista, Jardins and Higienopolis.Continuing on your journey of dis-covery, dont miss the world of fash-

ion. The best is concentrated in veshopping centres ; Rua Oscar Freire inJardins, Shopping Iguatemi in Itaim,Daslu in Vila Olmpia, Shopping Ci-dade Jardim and Morumbi Shopping inMorumbi.

Another highlight is the gastronomy.Here is a tempting suggestion: why nottry the best pastel (pastry) in SoPaulo at the fair at Estdio do Pacae-mbu ? Two other So Paulo delicacies

are lanche de mortadela (mortadelasandwich) and the pastel de bacalhau(cod sh-cake) at the Mercado Central(market) where you can also discoverall the different types of fruit indigen-ous to Brazil. And, of course, there isno shortage of sophisticated, specialitycuisines . ..So Paulos other highlight is its livelynightlife. The famous botecos - barsthat open out onto the street - are agood choice, especially those in Vila

Madalena. Another tip is to keep aneye on the programme of internationalshows, events and salons.So Paulo is like this : it doesnt stop, itnever gets weary - you just need to getout and have fun !!

The Internet might well be the rst con-tact you have with the Vila Porto Maregardens, the Porto Bay Groups resortwhich is composed of three hotels - theEden Mar, Porto Mare and The Resi-dence. The information and photos onwww.vpmgardens.blogspot.com prepareone for an unexpected visit. What couldbe so surprising about a hotels gar-

dens ?? For starters, their bio-diversitysince they are home to 474 taxa (in-cluding species, subspecies and culti-vars). And their size . .. over 13,000square metres of planted area alone.On their own the palm trees accountfor 44 species which represent a largecollection, doubtless one of the mostextensive in Madeira.

This situation is not common, above all whenbearing in mind that this is not a XIX th centuryhotel where gardens were often invested withparticular importance. Planting in the Vila PortoMare gardens began in 1988 upon the construct-ion of the Eden Mar hotel. Efforts were redoubledas from 2003 when the Vila Porto Mare resortconcept took shape. Initially conceived with aview to making the sunbathing area more pleas-

ant, they quickly became an attraction, capableof positioning the outlet as a Botanical Hotel.Work was rst undertaken by Estufa landscapegardeners under the guidance of Rui Vieira, therst General Director of the Funchal BotanicalGardens, in the area next to the Eden Mar ho-tel. 2003 saw the beginning of the second phasewhen the area was expanded by the Englishlandscape architect, Gerald Luckhurst, to becomethe gardens surrounding the resorts other ho-tels, Porto Mare and The Residence.

More recently, in 2008, the identication andclassication of the existing plants began underthe guidance of Raimundo Quintal, a geologistand expert in Madeiras ora. It is he who guidesus through the three levels of the gardens lledwith ower-beds where the bio-diversity of thewhole planet is represented. The idea was tomake the garden lived in by the guests. Therst step was to identify all the species, sub-species and varieties of plants growing there.For Raimundo Quintal it is the bio-diversity that

O jardim do Vila Porto Marecomeou a ser plantado em 1988, na altura daconstruo do hotel Eden Mar. Ganhou novo fle-go em 2003, quando se evolui para o conceito deresort Vila Porto Mare. Pensado inicialmente paraembelezar a rea de solrio, depressa se tornouum espao de culto, capaz de posicionar a unida-de como um hotel botnico.Inicialmente desenhados pela empresa Estufa sob

makes these gardens so interesting. After twoyears of work all the plants were identied withlabels that inform visitors of their names andorigins. During this period ora endemic to Ma-deira was also introduced. The idea was to pro-mote the concept of a Botanical Hotel. However,contrary to tradition in which botanical hotelsare located next to botanical gardens, these gar-dens were built as part of the hotel.

Apart from training the gardening team, anotheraspect of the project that has been undertaken isthe development of best environmental practicessomething that is closely followed by guestswho participate actively in the life of the gar-dens whether by using the containers placed inthe garden to make compost or by using some ofthe vegetables and herbs which have been intro-duced into the gardens in the meantime.Containers where organic waste can be deposit-ed are located all over the gardens. The waste

remains there until it has turned into compostwhich is used to fertilise the earth. Levada (wa-ter channel) water is used for irrigation in prefer-ence to mains water.Apart from being environmentally friendly, allthese measures reduce the maintenance costs ofa garden that Raimundo Quintal hopes will app-eal to all generations. Grandpa can sit in theshade reading a book, Dad can help in the gard-en and the kids have space to play.

na este jardim interessante. Ao m de dois anos de

trabalho, as plantas j esto identicadas e clas-sicadas com placas que permitem aos visitantesconhecer os seus nomes e origens. Ao longo desteperodo foram tambm introduzidas algumas es-pcies endmicas da ora da Madeira. A ideia eradar fora ao conceito de hotel botnico. Mas, aocontrrio da tradio, em que os hotis botnicoscam junto a jardins botnicos, este jardim foiconstrudo como parte de um hotel. Outro dos tra-balhos feitos, alm da formao da equipe de jardi-neiros, foi desenvolver as boas prticas ambientais,

um aspecto que alis seguido pelos hspedesque colaboram ativamente na vida do jardim, querutilizando os recipientes colocados no jardim ondese faz a decomposio, quer usando alguns dosvegetais e ervas aromticas que entretanto foramsendo introduzidas em diferentes cantos do jardim.Por todo o jardim esto espalhados recipientesonde os resduos orgnicos so depositados e alicam at formar um composto que serve parafertilizar as terras. A rega feita com gua deuma levada (curso de gua em volta da monta-nha) e no da rede pblica.Todas estas medidas, alm de serem amigas doambiente, reduzem os custos de manuteno deum jardim que Raimundo Quintal entende quedeve ser para todas as idades. O av pode estar sombra lendo um livro, o pai pode ajudar nojardim e a criana tem espao para brincar.

We chat, sitting at a table and drink-ing a herbal infusion made with plantsgrown in the gardens. The herb andmedicinal plant garden is one of thethemed areas. It was created in 2009and already has over 30 species. Thisidea has given rise to other themed ar-eas : one assembles plants endemic toMadeira and another succulents such ascacti, which, on account of their hardi-ness, have been planted nearer the sea.

The resort uses produce from the gard-ens in its kitchens. It is self-sufcient inbananas and, apart from herbs, pump-kins, cabbage, cucumbers, watermelon,grapes are also produced for consump-tion. It is here that Chef Alcino Marquesand his team gather coriander, savory,basil, rosemary . .. to enhance variousdishes such as smoked salmon withherbs which can be enjoyed at thebuffet in the Atlntida restaurant.

Place the salmon lets on top of a grill with the skin side facingdown. Combine all the marinade ingredients and mixed thorough-ly. Cover the salmon with the marinade. Place the grill on top ofa tray so that any liquids can drain away. Cover the salmon andleave to marinade for 24 hours. At the end of this period, removethe marinade and rinse the salmon quickly in cold water. Put thesalmon back on the grill and place in the (cold) oven.Place the sawdust in the frying pan and heat, covered, over alow ame until it begins to smoke (the sawdust should not burn).Uncover the frying pan and place inside the oven. Wait 10 minutes.Repeat this procedure 2 more times using the same pan and saw-dust so that the salmon takes on the smoked avour.Once you have done this, chill the salmon in the fridge for 30minutes. Brush with a little olive oil and keep in the fridge, well

wrapped in cling-lm.Always ensure that the oven is cold. The grill bearing the salmonshould be placed just above the middle of the oven, well awayfrom the frying pan with the sawdust.

Today the introduction of endemic plants intothe gardens is a growing trend but RaimundoQuintal pioneered an experiment in this area in1989 in So Vicente on the north side of the is-land. At the time this approach was not very wellreceived but now there is greater interest andawareness of its importance.The Vila Porto Mare gardens have owers year-

round. By choosing plants from South Africa,Australia and New Zealand, the landscape archi-tect ensured that something is always in ower.The concept associated to this garden is that ofan English colonial cottage garden which com-bines a lawn with various other plants. RaimundoQuintal explains that the English used to do thisin their tropical colonies, also using tropical spe-cies that ower throughout the year. There is no shortage of birds to complete thepeaceful setting with a view over the sea. The

birds give what can only be described as concertsin the trees. The gardens have special guests :resident birds and also others which migrate thisway and increasingly make this their home.Raimundo Quintal explains that the aim is thateverybody should feel a rapport with the plantsin this garden. And the afnity of the gardenswith their surroundings also stands out. Greensblend in with the blues of the resorts ve swim-ming pools, the aromas of the four restaurants,the freshness of the 6 bars, the sports areas . ..

At the time therewere small plants that today are largebushes or fruit trees. It is this abund-ance of green in the Porto Bay hotelsthat represents the nature of the islandso well - one of the reasons that madeus come back and buy a timesharehere. We open our window and have agarden that makes us feel at home. Wemake mint tea with mint we pick andwhen our granddaughters come with usit is a real learning experience teachingthem to pick fruit they only see in the

Madeira has several gardens worth vis-iting. Apart from the diverse origins oftheir plants, Madeira gardens also haveother outstanding features such asthe cobble paths made from smooth,rolled pebbles that meander betweenthe ower beds. The pebbles are notarticially made and they remainrounded. These cobble paths occupythe most noble parts of the gardenswhile in the more common areas the

paths are made from compacted earth.

Another distinguishing feature of Ma-deira gardens is how they differ fromeach other. Depending on the altitude,one can go from the domain of tropi-cal plants to one dominated by plantsfrom temperate climates. The Palheiro Gardens are some of themost remarkable in Madeira. Apart fromthe panoramic views they offer, thesegardens, composed of large lawns andlakes, are home to some of the rarest andmost precious exotic plants in the world.Closer to the sea, in Funchal, RaimundoQuintal recommends visiting Parque deSanta Catarina, the Quinta Vigia and

Museu Quinta da Cruzes gardens aswell as the Funchal Municipal Garden.At an intermediate level the recomend-ation goes to the Madeira BotanicalGardens - one of the most noteworthyin this part of the world.At higher altitudes visitors should
