Miradouro da Ribeira da Janela

At the top of the parish of Ribeira da Janela, at Eira da Achada, this lookout opened in 2009 is one of the best equipped on the island: toilets, children's areas, picnic areas and a car park. The view runs along the north coast to Seixal, São Vicente and Ponta Delgada, with the rocky relief typical of this shore. Below, at the river mouth, the big islets standing in the ocean: one of them is pierced by a window-shaped opening ("janela") that gave its name to the river and the village.
