Having tried out the amazing pools, head to Madeira's main observation point - Cabo Girão . Few people know that it is the highest cliff in Europe the second highest in the world. The height of the cliff is 580 meters. The cliff offers a stunning view of Câmara de Lobos , and in clear weather, you can even see the landscapes of Funchal . Having climbed such a vertiginous height, get up the nerve to look down. Here, right at the shore of the ocean, you can see small gardens that belong to local people. They have grown incredibly delicious fruits and vegetables in this amazing area for many years.
Madeira also has some amazing landmarks, which only few experienced travelers are aware of. Look for one of such places in the picturesque village of Camara de Lobos - this is the so-called "Winston Churchill Viewpoint". This is the name of a small platform where the British Prime Minister set up his easel and did paintings in the mid-20th century. Of course, this historical fact did not remain unnoticed by inhabitants of the small town. The site is still well-preserved, and an information plate in the form of an easel was fixed on the nearest building. It is pretty easy to find this symbolic place - the site is located near a fur seal fountain. Nearby is the cozy restaurant Cherchills , and if you believe the stories of locals, Winston Churchill has visited it a number of times more than 60 years ago.
