** 👪👪👪👪👪 👪 FRANCISCO ÁLVARES NÓBREGA VIEWPOINT - PARISH OF ÁGUA DE PENA (MACHICO MUNICIPALITY)

 

FRANCISCO NÓBREGA VIEWPOINT
32.714071, -16.764898

The Francisco Alvares Nóbrega Viewpoint, in Machico, owes its name to “Camões Pequeno”. This name was given in honor of the poet Francisco Álvares Nóbrega, known as Camões Pequeno, who was born in Machico in 1773.

This poet was persecuted by the Inquisition Court and ended up dying shortly after being released from prison, in Lisbon, in 1806. From here we have an extraordinary view over the Machico valley and Ponta de São Lourenço.
