About
In Madeira, Monte da Piedade stands at Estr. João Abel de Freitas 77, Sítio do Laranjal, 9240-031 São Vicente. The viewpoint looks out from the island's northern coast, with São Vicente close at hand and Porto Moniz further along the shore.

First-time visitors should expect a coastal setting where the ocean moderates the temperature, keeping the climate mild for the latitude so that extremes of heat and cold are rare. Reaching the site from Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, Calheta or Porto Moniz means a drive along Madeira's roads, and São Vicente is the closest of the nearby places.
Portuguese is the official language, spoken with a local accent that differs from the mainland. Sea temperatures stay warm enough for swimming through much of the year, though the water is cooler than in the Mediterranean.
