Good To Know

Think a viewpoint is just a selfie spot? Think again! This one used to be the “control tower” for whales cruising around Madeira. With a view that could make even a drone jealous, Miradouro da Vigia offers a stunning panorama from Arco de São Jorge all the way to Porto Moniz. And on clear days? You might even catch a glimpse of Porto Santo!

If you’re in Santana, take a break and enjoy this breathtaking window to the Atlantic—who knows, you might spot a whale influencer passing by!
