I took this in May on Madeira Island, Portugal! This is one of the most majestic sights I saw on this island paradise! Penha d'Aguia (Eagle Rock) is really impressive to see up close. It was even difficult to get all this in one photo. I need a better lens ;). I saw it after visiting a distillery in Porto da Cruz. Just a few meters away is this massive landscape! Porto da Cruz is located on the northeastern side of Madeira, definitely a picturesque part of the island! There was even some swimmers around where I took this picture. Everyone was having a good time there, either on the beach of walking along the pier :). There was other awesome views to the other side, as well. Incredible cliffs that seem to go on forever. And it was even foggy on that side, a big contrast to what you see here. I also think I saw Eagle Rock from another side, as well. And would love to return and see more views of it!!

It was a good stay and the hotel was nice. The food was good. Only issue we had was the number for the reception was no where to be found in the room so you’re not able to call down if you need anything. They clean the room well but forget to restock on toilet paper. Sadly because it’s just opened ...

This is a beautiful location with stunning views. Just be aware that it the shuttle bus from the resort doesn't always go into town everyday.
