Pico da Torre
About
Pico da Torre serves Madeira from its position in Câmara de Lobos, Portugal. That puts it on the southern coast, west of Funchal along the same stretch of shoreline.
Visitors have given Pico da Torre a 4.5 out of 5 average across 109 reviews, a record that reflects steady approval. Reaching it from Funchal or Câmara de Lobos takes only a short drive, and the other towns on the island lie further along the coastal roads. As a viewpoint, it offers a raised vantage over the surrounding landscape. Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz and Calheta frame this part of Madeira.
A 4.5 average drawn from 109 reviews places it among the area's more widely reviewed stops. The position in Câmara de Lobos anchors it on the island's southern side rather than in the mountainous interior. Whales, dolphins and seabirds gather in the surrounding waters, and whale-watching boats run from several islands.
Madeira's year divides between a wetter winter half and a drier summer half, so clear days come more often in the warmer months. Grilled fish and seafood stews appear on tables across the island, each kitchen following its own family recipe. Portuguese is the language spoken on the island, with English common in visitor areas. Arrivals reach the island by air from Europe, Africa or the Americas, and short flights link islands within a group.
