At the entrance of Água de Pena, a road goes up towards this view-point which bears the name of the Portuguese poet that one called small Camões, Francisco Àlvares Nóbrega (1772-1806), which lived several years with Machico and rented the merits of Madeira.
The sight extends on what became the site discovered by Zarco, where the legend also locates the burial of the two lovers that a storm had led here at the beginning of the 14th century. In front of the high rock Fascist C, a quay and a fort mark the site of the place where the first Portuguese would have put the foot. The long desert spine of Ponta of São Lourenço stretches towards the North-East, whereas one see the valley of Machico towards the west, mottled white, ocher, clear green, and pink of the maisonnettes disseminated on the cultivated terraces.
