Miradouro sobre a Ponta do Sol

The lookout above Ponta do Sol frames one of the west coast's most striking scenes: the town's valley, sheltered by green mountains, and the deep blue sea beyond. The place takes its name from a rocky point that runs into the sea and reflects the sun's rays. Cement benches let you linger. Below, the Nossa Senhora da Luz church (15th century) and the romantic Lugar de Baixo palace round off the visit.
