Miradouro do Cristo Rei do Garajau, Portugal Garajau is Portuguese for tern and the village is named after the attractive black-headed seabirds.

There is a large tiled frieze at the entrance depicting the fishermen. The white attractive church is from the sixteenth century and is well preserved. 15 minutes
Praia de Machico, Machico, Portugal From Santa Cruz we head to Machico
Machico´s bay was the first place where Zarco and Tristão Vaz Teixeira landed when Madeira was discovered. It has an uncommonly shaped valley, which looks as if a balcony overlookes the sea and the mountains, in a municipality with great abundance in water. The sugar cane crops and its mills activities made it become very important for Madeira’s economy until the 17th century. The eastern side of Machico bay is dominated by Pico do Facho a 320 mts (1050 ft) a high peak. It was named after the beacon (facho) that used to be lit here to warn residents of approaching pirates 15 minutes
Ponta de Sao Lourenco, Canical, Portugal Ponta de São Lorenço. The eastern most point of the island. The area around Caniçal and Sao Lorenço has a similar climate to that of the island of Porto Santo.

Beautiful rock formation can be found in this region and one of the coast plants, the ice plant 15 minutes
