This is an area to the east of Funchal from the sea looking north. The towns are built over the slopes of the mountains that drop down to the sea. The shot was taken in the late afternoon as the clouds began to gather over the island. Funchal is the largest city, the municipal seat and the capital of Portugal's Autonomous Region of Madeira. The city has a population of 111,892, making it the 6th largest city in Portugal, and has been the capital of Madeira for more than five centuries. Because of its high cultural and historical value, Funchal is one of Portugal's main tourist attractions. It is also popular as a destination for New Year's Eve, and it is the leading Portuguese port on cruise liner dockings
