Beco da Vitoria

A good way to make the hike on the promenade a bit more comfortable is to take the bus line 1 (Linha Verde) from Funchal to "Victoria D" (penultimate bus stop), and then down the Beco da Victoria to Promenade to go and then back to Funchal by the sea.

Nice shortcut through a banana plantation between the seafront and the Estrada Monumental.
