Madeira island is a portuguese autonomous region. Because that, have a flag that you can see in Quinta Vigia, the official residence of the Madeira island gorvernment president.
I knew this building in Rua Ivens, north of the Jardim Municipal (municipal garden), for many years.

Every mondays, like today, the cruise ship AIDAstella returns to Funchal port i winter season. And, every week, some passangers cyling around the city in organized tours. I find some of them one of this days in Santa Catarina Park where there are a chapel with the same name.
