During last week Funchal was celebrating the beautiful and colourful flowers that named Madeira the Atlantic garden.

Since Wednesday the flower paths, a typical decoration on all Madeira festivities, were built on one of the main streets in Funchal.

On Saturday morning many school children went to the Município square to put a flower on the wall of hope.

Sunday was the peak day with the flower taking hundreds of adults and children through the main streets of the city, dancing, singing and spreading flowers all around.
