Abroad
- Coimbra
Portugal. Where he studied law and co-founded the Imparcial.
Portuguese mainland university city where many Madeirans studied law or medicine, and where Padre Luís Gonçalves da Câmara taught and was rector of the Jesuit college. It hosted the 1921 academic table-tennis championship, and its dormancy and rainfall data are compared with Funchal's.
- Funchal
His birthplace.
The capital of the archipelago and seat of the principal captaincy, where settlement began; it was made a vila c.1451–52. Its bay, the widest in the archipelago, lies between Ponta do Garajau and Ponta da Cruz and offers sheltered anchorage, though its harbour had never been studied oceanographically. The Elucidário discusses it as a health resort with climate data and records the January 1906 disturbances, the Danish prince's visit in May 1846 and recent volcanic cones in the area.
- Montado do Barreiro
Funchal. Estate subject of the expropriation case on which he published a pamphlet.
Upland wooded and pasture tract above Funchal, rich in springs that feed several levadas and the Tornos springs used for the city's water supply. It was expropriated by the Funchal council in 1917, and the resulting lawsuit prompted pamphlets by Pedro Góis Pita and Juvenal Henriques de Araújo.
