What makes a good sunset in Madeira?
Madeira sits in the Atlantic with no land to the west, which means unobstructed ocean horizons for sunset. The island's dramatic cliffs and volcanic terrain give you elevated viewpoints that look straight into the setting sun over open water. Cabo Girão, one of Europe's highest sea cliffs, and Ponta do Pargo on the western tip are the prime spots. The island generates its own cloud cover from orographic lift, so GoldCast scores matter here: cloud below the mountain peaks can still leave the western horizon clear.
