Cabo Girão

Portugal / Madeira / Campanario /
 rocks, cliff
Further along the road from Funchal through Câmara de Lobos and up into the mountains you will arrive at Cabo Girão.

This is the second highest cliff face in the world. Standing at the iron railings of the viewpoint is quite a breathtaking adventure. www.madeira-web.com/PagesUK/cabo-girao.html

The view is incredible and certainly more enjoyable once you retreat from the cliffs edge.
