Contenda Viewpoint

About the Contenda Viewpoint

Madeira has plenty of amazing landscapes worthy of being photographed. The Contenda Viewpoint offers visitors one of these striking sceneries, marked by the imposing presence of the ocean and by the tropical exuberance of Nature, which we find all across the island.

This observatory is located in Contenda, in the parish of Gaula. This town, which is part of the municipality of Santa Cruz, benefits from a privileged location, halfway between the sea and the mountains. In terms of economic activity, it stands out for the manufacturing of the famous Madeira Embroidery.

The Contenda Viewpoint is located in this quiet town. This viewpoint is surrounded by a green atmosphere, inviting visitors to enjoy relaxing moments of contemplation, sitting on one of its benches.

From the Contenda Viewpoint, you can see points of interest such as Ponta de São Lourenço, a peninsula located on the eastern tip of the island, the parish of Santa Cruz, where the Cristiano Ronaldo Madeira International Airport is located, or, on clear days, the Desertas Islands (Ilhéu Chão, Deserta Grande and Bugio).
