View in NW direction. The village of Seixal extends on the slopes of a small basaltic headland along the otherwise rugged cliff coast of NW Madeira. A notable feature is the dark sand beach Praia do Porto de Seixal. The vineyard in the foreground indicates some importance of grape cultivation, which is rather untypical for the prevailing humid climate.
