Câmara de Lobos is a Portuguese city on the island of Madeira. It is considered the Madeiran fishing village par excellence and gained fame as British Prime Minister Winston Churchill immortalized the site on a painting. A memorial plaque in the center reminds of this historical event. The place name means cave of monk seals. Today, however, hardly more monk seals are sighted on this stretch of coast.

Hiking
A touristy and lively little town on the picturesque fishing bay. Take some time to linger. If you don't like the hustle and bustle, choose a less popular time of day. If you don't like the tourist prices in the restaurants, bring your own food. You'll find a place where you can sit down and enjoy the view.
Câmara de Lobos was the first settlement on Madeira and therefore has great historical significance for the island. The town also has a centuries-old fishing tradition.
