Fodor's Expert Review Miradouro do Paredão

For a spot with such impressive views, it's remarkable how few people visit the scenic overlooks at Miradouro do Paredão. One side overlooks the Curral das Freiras and its jagged peaks, while the other looks towards the ocean. The road to reach Miradouro do Paredão is narrow and winding, which scares off the bus tours. You'll be rewarded with almost empty observation decks and some of the most dramatic views on the island from high above the clouds.
