Restaurants and Bars in Old Town Remain Closed

Sometimes All We Need Is A Little Divine Intervention

Hope Crescent hasn’t lived up to its name for a long time. That is until ex-rock songstress, the Reverend Dolores Lane becomes the new vicar at St. Matthews. Accompanied by her unruly pets she is determined to bring her community together through – gardening! Ruth Bennet is living under the oppressive memory of her dead husband Harry, and is desperate to escape the life she is trapped in. Like everyone else Dolores is mesmerised by Witching’s Field and the tree that lives there. Dolores has another problem; the local council want to sell the land to a local developer. Time is running out, and Dolores is under pressure to save her community, the tree, and the secret that it has guarded for almost a century.

Reports this morning show that a majority of the bars and restaurants in the Zona Velha (Old Town), in Funchal, remain closed, although a steak house was open on Rua de Santa Maria. Many of the owners say that it is not worth opening anytime soon, because there are no tourists. However, this should all change from the 1st of June.
