A viewpoint with a statue of Christ, can be a good point for meeting sunrise or sunset.

The Cristo Rei monument is a sacred statue of Jesus Christ on Ponta do Garajau, a headland between Canico and Funchal on the south coast of Madeira Island. This viewpoint offers panoramic views on the Atlantic Ocean, Funchal Bay and Desertas Islands. You can watch a beautiful sunset here when the sun sets all the way to the right lighting up Funchal city. There are plenty of facilities around such as benches and a cafe. If you want to have a short walk, you can descend down the 220 stairs to the end of the promontory.
