About this audio guide
This guide to the Universo de Memórias João Carlos Abreu in Funchal starts with a collection nobody can seem to count, and turns to the man who filled a nineteenth-century house with it. You'll meet a journalist, poet and actor who spent twenty-three years running Madeira's tourism and culture, and the friends from the stage and the fado world who left traces in his rooms. Best heard at the start of your visit, before you climb to the upper floors.
