On my way from Funchal to Fanal, I came across an viewpoint that captured my attention for at least 30 minutes.

Located in the middle of the island in the village of Serra de Água close to Ribeira Brava and you will definitely won’t miss it, as the views that open from there are really breathtaking.

This hidden gem for those adventurous tourists looking to explore off the beaten path of Madeira. This viewpoint offers stunning 180° views towards the mountains and sea, with the sun rising and setting over these sights. The drive up the mountain requires a car as it can be quite steep, but the view at the top is worth the journey. Consider making this your first or last stop on a day out to enjoy unforgettable moments in the magical landscape that is Madeira.

There are picnic areas and enough space to park your car. Be sure to stop here for a snack on your trip to Madeira 😉
