Boca dos Namorados
Boca dos Namorados is a lookout point on Madeira at an altitude of 1019 m. It belonged to the municipality of Câmara de Lobos until July 5, 1996 and then to the newly created municipality of Jardim da Serra .
For years it was a transit point on the footpath over a mountain ridge from the southern Estreito de Câmara de Lobos , here at about 555 m above sea level, after the northern Curral das Freiras . Its panoramic view not only includes Curral das Freiras from its south side, but also downtown Funchal as you climb to Pico dos Bodes . The viewpoint also offers picnics, barbecue facilities and parking.
The origin of the name is uncertain, but the Madeiran writer and poet Joaquim Pestana created a suitable local legend of two lovers in the 19th century.
