Porto da Cruz Webcam

This webcam is installed at the Miradouro da Portela viewpoint and faces north. In front of you lies the picturesque district of Porto da Cruz, known for its mountainous landscape and charming streets.
At the bottom of the frame is the town itself, while in the center stands Madeira’s natural wonder, Penha d’Águia (“Eagle’s Rock”). This impressive basalt mountain rises to about 580 meters and is one of the island’s most recognizable landmarks. From its summit, you can enjoy panoramic views of the ocean, nearby districts, and mountain ranges. Local legend says the mountain was named after the eagles that once nested on its slopes.
Beyond Penha d’Águia you can see the district of Faial, which is especially striking in the evening when the lights of the houses begin to glow. The right side of the frame is filled by the vast Atlantic Ocean, creating a striking contrast between the rugged mountain and the calm expanse of water.
Enjoy this live panorama and the atmosphere of Madeira’s north coast in real time.
