Description of this place: Achadas da Cruz is a small, remote village on Madeira's northwest coast, famous for its incredibly steep cable car that descends a dramatic cliff face to a secluded coastal "fajã" (a small flat area of land at the base of a cliff). This unique experience offers breathtaking views during the descent. Once at the bottom, visitors can explore the peaceful, agricultural fajã with its traditional houses and cultivated plots, enjoying the tranquility and the powerful ocean waves. It's an unforgettable destination for those seeking dramatic scenery and a unique Madeiran experience.
