Everything about Cabo Gir O totally explained
Cabo Girão is a steep sea
cliff located in the southern part of the
Atlantic Portuguese Madeira Islands. Situated less than 2 km from the town of
Câmara de Lobos, it rises from 560 to 589 meters above sea level. Many brochures tell that it's the second steepest cliff in
Europe, but at least two European cliffs (
Preikestolen with 604m and
Sleave League with 601m) are higher.
The terraced fields lying beneath the cliff used to be only accessible by boat. In August
2003, a cable car was installed on the slope of the cliff so farmers can reach these low-lying fields.
Cabo Girão is a popular lookout point as well as a starting point for hikers. Above the cliffs stand a communications tower and the parish of
Quinta Grande. The road linking
Calheta and
Funchal runs 1 km north.
The length of the cliff reaches from approximately 1 km south of
Campanário to the west of the urban sprawl of Câmara de Lobos.
