The scene shows men dressed in white pushing wicker sleds with wooden runners down an asphalt street that slopes downhill. The location is the entrance to the "Grande Hotel Belmonte," and the area also contains a street sign showing the directions to Funchal and Babosas. The men are all wearing white pants and shirts, some with sweaters or jackets, and straw hats. The wicker sleds appear to be for carrying passengers. The overall environment suggests a unique cultural or tourist attraction involving traditional means of transportation.
