Not for those who don't like to look down steep cliffs, but to look out across the views of the island and the sea, it's brilliant. More

But even more impressive to watch from Camara de Lobos, when you actually realize how big it is. More

If you take a tour bus, as we did, you will see many great views, in fact thts mostly what the bus tours are all about. Still it is one of the best and during the week the craft stalls seems to be missing. More

A spectacular sheer drop of about 550 metres from the rudimentary viewpoint to sea level. Unforgettable - but that's all, except the usual souvenir stalls. A new viewpoint is being constructed.. More

Nice scenic views on a sunny day, it's a cliff nearly 600 meters high by the ocean. One of the best miradouros, although there are many good ones on Madeira. Depending on the time of the day, there might be a lot of tourists and some peddlers. More
