Galactic Arch Over a Mountain Village on Madeira
Set in the Atlantic Ocean, Madeira is a Portuguese gem celebrated for its rugged cliffs, lush greenery, and varied landscapes. While its dramatic coastlines and sweeping views attract visitors all year, the island is also a hidden paradise for astrophotographers, offering exceptionally clear night skies that unveil the Milky Way in breathtaking clarity.
During our trip to Madeira in July 2025, we stopped at a stunning viewpoint to photograph the Milky Way rising gracefully above the winding mountain road. The spot offered more than just one perfect angle — turning the other way, the view opened into a peaceful valley with a small mountain village below. From there, we captured a beautiful Milky Way arch panorama that became one of our favorite shots of the trip.
