Jardim do Mar

Portugal / Madeira / Ponta do Sol /
 village, freguesia (Portugal)

Jardim do Mar (literally ‘garden of the sea’) was first under the authority of Prazeres and Paúl do Mar, gaining its independence in the 18th century.

Its name originates in the transition between steep slopes without vegetation and a wonderful green seaside resort that was once covered with a mantle of wild flowers. www.madeira-web.com/PagesUK/jardim-mar.html
