Quinta Grande

Quinta Grande, created on 24 July 1848, is one of the five civil parishes that constitute the municipality of Câmara de Lobos in the archipelago of Madeira, Portugal.

[2] The community is primarily oriented around agriculture, although it has become an important tourist stop in Madeira, due to the Cabo Girão, which is considered the highest promontory in Europe at 580 metres (1,900 ft).

Quinta Grande is situated within a river-valley and buttressed between the parishes of Campanário and Câmara de Lobos in the southwest coast of the island.

The southeast part of the parish (along the coast) comprises Cabo Girão, a high escarpment and sheer cliff face.

Some vineyards and farmlands surround the parish to the north and east, and mostly concentrate on the cultivation of grapes for the production of Madeira Wine.
