It's worth walking down this street to see the many colourfully painted doors, the work of local artists. The first time we were there in the morning, it was quiet, almost empty, and we could have a good look and take photos of the unique works. Other times we returned in the evening. Then it was lively, with many people eating and drinking in the restaurants and cafes there.

Cosy street with many painted doors. It was told that this was previously a working class that they were trying to get more popular. The people got artists who painted all the doors in the street, and it became a successful project. Now there are plenty of small restaurants and tourist shops there. Cozy to walk through the street at least.

After the storm disaster in 2010, in which the street to the first floor of the houses sank in mud, local artists participated in the reconstruction by imaginatively painting the front doors. This door gallery is worth considering. Not all motifs please me, but every motif is special. In the houses of this old street you can find restaurants, shops, but also residential buildings.

We leave the Lavradores Market and enter this street, the famous Santa Maria Street. Famous because it has been a must visit for visitors to Funchal. Should interesting the paintings (naive art?) on the doors of the houses along the long street, elected "street art".

I found this street in Funchal when I was exploring the city and it's a very colourful place to visit. Lots of shops and restaurants up and down the street and it's close to the marina area of town. It's famous for all the painted doors and it's a nice place to visit

This area exceeded our expectations. From the faded old glamour of the once fabulous buildings to the varied art works on the door. We visited around 9pm so was busy with people eating and drinking , still possible to get good photos .

One of the major streets in the center of Funchal. You will finds places to eat here plus some shopping. We bought a few souvenirs for the folks at home. Can get quite crowded, especially if several cruise ships are in town.
