Mira Beleza Viewpoint: Where Heaven and Earth Meet in Cova de Joana
On our Brava, where every peak looks like a natural viewpoint, there are places that manage to take this spectacularity to a new level. The Mira Beleza viewpoint, located in the town of Cova de Joana, is considered by many to be one of the most sublime vantage points on our island.
More than just a stopover, this built-up viewpoint acts as a guide for the eyes and a refuge for the soul. Its cobbled sidewalk, adorned with an imposing "wind rose", is not just an artistic detail; it is a compass that offers us geographical orientation while we contemplate the immensity.
The View: From above, your gaze plunges into a deep valley that stretches between majestic mountains until it meets the embrace of the ocean. In the background, you can see the quiet town of Lagoa and the iconic trail that winds up the slopes towards Fajã d'Água, inviting your feet to discover.
Security and Harmony: These modern constructions are the necessary reinforcement of nature. As well as providing comfort, they ensure the safety of our visitors by preventing dangerous approaches to the peaks and ridgelines, allowing their only concern to be absorbing the beauty of Djabraba in all its splendor.
Take advantage of the late afternoon to watch the shadows draw across the valleys and the colors of the sunset reflect in the wind rose. It's a moment of absolute silence and peace.
