Itinerary
Step 1
The cliffs of Cabo Girao are some of the highest in Europe, with a near vertical drop of over 500 meters down to the raging seas of the Atlantic Ocean at the base of the cliffs. These magnificent cliffs have been converted into a nauseating tourist attraction, with a glass floor skywalk extending out over the top of the cliff.
Step 2
Boca da Corrida Viewpoint in Jardim da Serra in the high part of Estreito de Câmara de Lobos, is located approximately 1000m above sea level.
In this viewpoint we have a stunning view over the valley of Curral das Freiras, Eira do Serrado, the central massif and is the starting point for the walking route of Caminho Real da Encumeada.
Step 3
Boca dos Namorados where we have a top view of the picturesque village of Curral das Freiras
Step 4
Estreito de Câmara do Lobos is important for its cultivation of grapes, for the production of Madeira wine. The north of the parish is primarily elevated mountains, where traditional levadas (earthen constructions) still function; these courses were used to transport water by gravity to the population centres and agricultural tracts along its course.
Step 5
Câmara de Lobos is an attractive village by the sea whose main activity is fishing. Upon arriving at the village you will find many small colourful boats in the bay just waiting for fishermen to take them out to sea. The village recalls with tremendous pride the days when the inspiration for Winston Churchill´s paintings were the stunning landscapes of Câmara de Lobos. Some of his paintings may be viewed today in his former home in Kent (England).
