village, commune - administrative division
Ponta do Pargo's name came from its location on the extreme coastal west point (Ponta) and for being rich in a species of fish called 'pargo'.
Due to its plane terrain this is a very distinguished area on Madeira Island. Tranquil and peculiar, this parish maintains its charm almost all year round, becoming especially alive when religious festivals occur. Another event that makes it shine is the ‘Apple Festival’ (Festa do Pêro). www.madeira-web.com/PagesUK/ponta-pargo.html
