Over
Korte feiten: Weelderige terrassen lopen af naar zee, geurende camelia's en torenhoge palmen creëren schaduwrijke plekjes met plotselinge panoramische uitzichten op de kust. Wandelende blijven staan bij een kleine koepel en een marmeren standbeeld, en de lokale bevolking beweert dat de banken de beste plek zijn om vissersboten en cruiseschepen in de zilte bries te zien glijden.
Hoogtepunten: Zit op een door de zon verwarmd bankje bij de kleine siervijver en je zult het vreemde, troostrijke mengsel van hibiscuszoetheid, zoute Atlantische adem en kerkklokken die om 11:00 uur luiden opmerken. Lokale gezinnen brengen routinematig bolo do caco en een fles poncha mee, genoeg voor ongeveer vier personen, en wanneer een bejaarde man met een verweerde kapiteinspet een versleten accordeon bespeelt, barst de hele plek los in een uur durend meezingfeest.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes; paths are paved but include steps and slopes.
- Head to the main terrace 45 minutes before sunset for the best bay and city photos.
- Avoid midday when cruise-ship crowds spill into the park, choose early morning for quiet.
- Bring a light windproof layer; ocean breezes can be cool in evenings.
