Pico Guindaste
About
When in Madeira, Pico Guindaste is the local business that serves as a viewpoint, set on Estr. do Guindaste in Portugal. The address places this lookout on the island's northern side, within the municipality of Santana. It is a miradouro rather than a shop or restaurant, so the visit is about the view itself.
Travellers have given Pico Guindaste 4.8 out of 5 across 2,400 reviews, a volume and score that mark it as one of the most visited viewpoints on Madeira. The listing is illustrated with images of the site, and further information sits at https://visitmadeira.com/pt/onde-ir/madeira/costa-norte/santana/miradouro-do-guindaste/. Santana, São Vicente and Porto Moniz lie along the same northern coast, while Funchal, Câmara de Lobos, Caniço, Machico and Calheta sit elsewhere on the island.
First-time visitors should expect a roadside viewpoint where the stop is short and the outlook is the whole point. The surrounding landscape stays green through the year because of the mild oceanic climate, and summer brings the driest, warmest conditions for standing at the railing.
Portuguese is the main language spoken on Madeira, and direct flights from Europe serve the mid-Atlantic island. Food on Madeira leans on fresh seafood, locally raised beef and cheese, and wines grown in volcanic soil, so a viewpoint stop fits easily into a day of driving between coastal towns.
