The photo shows what Madeira newspaper Jornal da Madeira and Diário de Notícias put on today editions with the death of Michael Jackson. It's my little tribute to the king's pop. The world was, bound, poorer.
View of part of the city from the Marina of Funchal. The clouds at the top of the mountains are features this month of June we say around here that is the month of the helmet.
The sculpture that we see in the photo wants to be a tribute to the Madeiran businessman who has a day dedicated each year on May 21. Is located on the sidewalk of the Avenida do Mar (Avenue of the Sea), the major marginal in the bay of Funchal city.
This picture of the ribeira (name in portuguese, thar means like a small river) of Santa Luzia, one of three that cross the city of Funchal has been covered by bougainvilleas, a plant that exists in many colors. Originally from Brazil is very common throughout the island.
However, one day, your weight has caused fall. Had to start all over again and had to fix everything again and so can re-grow and cover the ribeira, which is already happening.
This plant belongs to the family Nyctaginaceae and its flowers in summer attract the attention. The most common is the color purple as these.
The 22.º Madeira Classic Rally is held between the next 24 to 26. For that much, many old cars, that change daily, stay in exhibition on the Avenida Arriaga, in Funchal (the most central of the city). These are some of the models that we can see these days.
This photo shows two great works in Funchal maid for two big names of arts and architecture in the world.
The statue, designed by the Lagoa Henriques, is the Empress Elizabeth, better known as Sissi, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which came to Madeira twice. Although there are other interpretations, came for the first time in November 1860 for health reasons. The island was known as therapy office, with a favorable climate for the treatment of tuberculosis.
The life of Sissi finally became a myth.
This statue in bronze and naturtal in size, is a tribute the city of Funchal.
As for the building, besides being a flagship hotel of the city, the Pestana Casino Park, built in the gardens where Sissi was there, is a result of the pencil of Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
The Pacif Dream cruise ship came to Madeira all friday with tourists, much of them are from Portugal. A few are from my island, named Madeira, and the others are from continental territory. But, in this Pullmantur's ship, there are passengers from others countries.

Confeitaria Felisberta or Patisserie Felisberta, in english. This is the name of one of the most famous cake shops of the city of Funchal, situated in Rua das Pretas. However, what we see in the photo shows that, unfortunately, is closed. Closed to the public, who never had access to wonderful recipes of cakes and sweets where each customer could serve up, and closed his knowledge.
The patisserie was closed for many years, and shows the deterioration with the name about to disappear. Unfortunately nobody is interested to recover it. I have the perception that this type of offer differentiates a destination such as Madeira.
In Funchal there are three ways to send the mail. Besides the green mail, which is inside the station and is for those who purchase the packages in pre-payment, there are these two landmarks. The red is for normal mail, the traditional. And the blue, where we pay for mail to goo faster. Is called the blue post or Correio Azul, in portuguese.
However, this offer is not very well perceived by thousands of tourists who visit us. So often are in doubt which should put the postcards with images of the island of Madeira.
