Jardim dos Namorados (Lovers' Garden)

Posted by mamamunho 24 November 2009

Jardim dos Namorados is a small, colourful park perched on a hilltop overlooking the Bay of Maputo.

Its attractions include a children's play area, a wonderful view of the sea and a cluster of ice cream parlours and cafes.

One of the most popular cafes is "Surf" which sells an imaginative range of pastries and light meals - although the service is a bit hit and miss at weekends, when it gets very busy.

Jardim dos Namorados is THE place in Maputo for wedding photos so at weekends you will no doubt come across several wedding parties: processions of jubilant Mozambicans dressed in suits, silks and satins, all swaying, singing and posing for the camera.
