[2025 Canico Attraction] Travel Guide for Praia de Garajau (Updated Mar)

The beautiful village of Garajau on the island of Madeira may feel like its only a short walk away to the ocean but the closer you get to the Atlantic the more you realise the problem. The village in fact sits hundreds of meters above perched on a cliff, there is of course the option of walking both up and down to the coastline but for those who don’t want that intense exercise you can always take the cable car down. #celebrateit #cliff #ocean #madeira

Madeira is an island with an abundance of beautiful coastal villages but Garajau may be the most stunning of them all. Located on a cliff top above the Atlantic Ocean, the village is famous for its Cristo Rei statue that overlooks the water and can be viewed as a mini version of the Christ the redeemer statue that overlooks Rio. The walk towards the statue leaves you with stunning coastal views all the way along to the capital Funchal #celebrateit #madeira #statue #cliffs

One of the best coastal views in the entirety of Europe has to be found on the Atlantic island of Madeira.
