Queda de Água do Véu da Noiva

The waterfall drops straight towards the sea, on the old road linking São Vicente to Seixal. It is the hanging mouth of Ribeira de João Delgado: the rapid retreat of the coast, by vertical erosion, left the stream bed in mid-air. The regional forestry institute has classified it a Natural Monument — one of the ten on Madeira island. You look at it from the Véu da Noiva viewpoint, on the road above.
