This is a restaurant in Funchal, near the rock and sand black beach. The base of it it's a iacht that they say belonged to the Beatles. We can read that in the back of the iacht.

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 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.

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.
