Nelson Mandela
About
On Madeira, Nelson Mandela is an artwork at São Martinho, 9000-503 Funchal, Portugal, a parish on the island's southern edge. The Funchal address places it within the capital's urban area rather than the rural interior.
Visitors give the artwork a warm reception, with a 4.5 out of 5 average across 38 reviews. São Martinho sits close to the city's hotel district, so the piece is within easy reach of the island's main resort accommodation.
First-time visitors based in Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço or Machico will find the São Martinho location convenient, while those staying further afield in Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz or Calheta should plan the journey along Madeira's coastal roads.
The mid-Atlantic islands are volcanic in origin and stand far from any continental mainland. Music and dance are central to island life, from morna and coladeira to Azorean folk songs. Many islanders emigrated to New England and Europe for work, and family ties still run between the islands and those ports. Inter-island ferries carry passengers and supplies, and crossings can be rough in winter.
