About

On Madeira, Cruzeiro - Sítio das Cruzinhas is a viewpoint in Portugal, and its position gives visitors a wide prospect over the island.

Cruzeiro - Sítio das Cruzinhas is known for the views it opens up, and the 4.6 out of 5 average from 105 reviews suggests the outlook holds up for most who make the trip. First-time visitors should expect a stop that rewards the journey rather than a long visit, with the surrounding scenery doing the work. Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta are the main towns and villages across Madeira, and the viewpoint sits within reach of them by road.

Portuguese is the official language on the Azores, Madeira and Cape Verde, with local accents and creole varieties, so place names on signs may look unfamiliar at first.

The ocean moderates temperatures, so the climate stays mild for the latitude and extremes of heat and cold are rare, which makes the viewpoint comfortable to visit across much of the year. Sea temperatures are warm enough for swimming for much of the year, though the water stays cooler than in the Mediterranean. The islands are reached by air from Europe, Africa or the Americas, and short flights link islands within a group.
