North and West Tour Stops – Cabo Girao

Cabo Girão is said to be the 2nd highest sea cliff of Europe. It rises above sea level between 560 and 589 metres.

There are terraced fields lying beneath the cliffs that 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 fields. Here you can also find the Chapel of Our Lady of Fátima, built in 1931 it’s one of the most important pilgrim places on the island. The view is spectacular and for sure a stop that should not be missed.
