Quinta Grande
Founded on July 24th 1848 and located at just a few minutes’ drive from Funchal is the delightful village of Quinta Grande, home of the Cabo Girão.
Just as in most villages on the island, the inhabitants of Quinta Grande live off and depend mainly from agriculture as their main source of income.
Cabo Girão
The knee trembling Cabo Girão, the second highest cliff in all of Europe with a height of 580 meters, is situated in Quinta Grande.
Fajã dos Padres, a fantastic experience!
Located at the base of Cabo Girão and only accessible by boat or cable car is the Fajã dos Padres, a unique place that still retains and conserves an almost intact natural beauty. The ride down by cable car is of 250 meters and upon reaching Fajã dos Padres you will find a restaurant and some tourism houses.
