I did this picture in a place named Álamos, a residential place in Funchal city. I like the architecture of the balcony with all those flowers.

Captei esta fotografia nos Álamos, um lugar residencial na cidade de Funchal. Gosto da arquitetura da varanda com todas aquelas flores.
It seems but it's not. It isn't a balcony of a hotel ... in land because, is reality, is a floating hotel, the cruise ship Pacific Dream of Pullmantur Cruises.

Parece mas não é. Não se trata de varandas de um hotel ... em terra porque, na realidade é um hotel flutuante, o navio de cruzeiros Pacific Dream da Pullmantu Cruises.
This pink balcony is part of one historic house with big garden, named quinta in the island. It's situated in city of Funchal, capital of Madeira. Has a privileged view to the sea and the bay of the capital. It's a fifth built over the centuries XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX and XX.
Nicholas of the residents here and Tuelière Conde de Lambert, Queen Adelaide of England, Empress Elizabeth of Austria, Archduke Maximilian, the Prince of Oldenburg, the Duke of Leuchtenberg, D. Amélia, Empress of Brazil and his daughter Maria Amelia.
Today is the official residence of the Regional Government of Madeira that acquired it in 1979. His name was then the Quinta das Angústias (anguish). Today is Quinta Vigia.
Since that time it began a series of works, both in gardens and in buildings, before the official residence was a school of music until 1984.
Can be and is visited daily by tourists.
