	Câmara de Lobos 54 photos from Câmara de Lobos (Madeira, Portugal) 2025-02-27 - 2025-02-28 Câmara de Lobos (`Chamber of Wolves`) is a municipality and town in the southern coast of the Portuguese island of Madeira, divided in 5 freguesias. A de facto suburb of the much larger capital city of Funchal, it is one of the larger population centres and an extension of the Funchal economy. The location of the modern town is believed to be the original landing point for the Portuguese discoverer João Gonçalves Zarco, who is credited with the discovery of the Madeira Islands. When the explorer disembarked in this area (1419), he observed a narrow rocky peninsula that extended into the ocean, and another nearby that formed an amphitheatre-like harbour that could shelter ships from Atlantic storms. There, Zarco and his men also found a large colony of marine animals that would become the reason for naming this area Câmara de Lobos. The Miradouro do Cabo Girão viewpoint is also located in the municipality. Tim visited both the town and the viewpoint in the winter of 2025.
