Passeio Alegre Garden (Porto): this real masterpiece, that took 20 years to built, was carefully designed by Emílio David. The palm trees lane, where sometimes the wind takes a walk, is one of the places blessed by natural beauty. The Passeio Alegre Garden has its own personality. Plane trees cohabit peacefully with the disorder of the palm trees that wave with the sensual sea breeze. The araucarias all "dressed up" celebrate daily a festival of undeniable beauty. At the eternal remain promises made by the ocean, in a garden of extreme splendour and beauty.
