This gorgeous little theatre is central to Funchal - its proper name is the Baltazar Diaz Theatre (named after a Madeiran poet).
The auditoreum is a minature Albert Hall and we saw the Madeiran Youth Mandolin Orchestra give a magnificent concert. The whole thing was absolutely charming but one could sit for ages in the empty auditorium and admire the atmosphere and architecture - large numbers of boxes surround the stalls and all the curtains and seats are a sumptuous crimson. Well worth a visit if ever in Funchal - both a musical performance or a play would be a joy.

Funchal Market has possibly the best public toilet facilities on the island. This delightful old building is crammed with vibrant colours of the flower, fruit and veg stalls is set on two floors. Visiting the surprisingly modern toilet facilities upstairs gives an opportunity to peer down at the fresh fish market below.
