Miradouro da Eira da Achada
Eira da Achada overlooks the green northern slopes of Madeira, where rain and steep terrain created deep valleys facing the Atlantic.
History and character
It is a quieter alternative to the island’s busiest viewpoints and reflects the rural character of the north coast.
Why visit
- North-coast ocean panorama
- Rural mountain roads
- Quiet photography stop
Practical tip
