Why Cabo Girao Skywalk matters
Cabo Girao is a sea cliff on Madeira's south coast, and the skywalk has a glass floor that lets you look straight down towards the sea. It's one of the island's most vertigo-inducing viewpoints. Nearby terraced farmland clings to the base.
Talking points
- The floor is glass.
- The cliff is among the tallest in Europe.
- Terraces cling below.
