Cabo Girão Skywalk Goes Inclusive!

The installation of a wheelchair lift at the highest cliff skywalk in Europe signals a welcome shift towards inclusivity. The rather small platform, located between Quinta Grande and Câmara de Lobos, is already highly frequented on most days and is likely going to become even more crowded over time. Therefore, prioritizing accessibility in favor of disadvantaged people is a commendable step forward.
