The name “Cabo Girão” translates to “Giant Cape” in English, which is fitting considering its imposing presence and breathtaking views. The cliff rises approximately 580 meters (1,900 feet) above the Atlantic Ocean, providing visitors with awe-inspiring panoramic vistas of the coastline and the surrounding area.

In terms of history, Cabo Girão has played a significant role in maritime exploration and navigation. Prior to the construction of modern lighthouses, the cliff served as a natural point of reference for sailors and ships. Its distinctive appearance made it a recognizable landmark, aiding navigation and ensuring the safe passage of vessels along the coast.

Cabo Girão has become a popular tourist attraction due to its stunning views and natural beauty. To enhance the experience for visitors, a glass viewing platform was installed near the cliff’s edge.

Traditionally, the people of Serra de Água have been closely connected to the land. Many families have worked in agriculture for generations, passing down farming techniques and traditions.

The tunnel of Encumeada is a remarkable feat of engineering located in Madeira, Portugal. It serves as a crucial link between the north and south sides of the island, traversing the rugged terrain of the Encumeada mountain pass.

The construction of the tunnel began in the mid-20th century as part of an initiative to improve transportation infrastructure on the island. Prior to its completion, the journey between the north and south of Madeira was challenging, particularly during inclement weather or when the mountain pass was inaccessible. The tunnel was envisioned as a solution to make travel more convenient and reliable for both locals and visitors.
