parish in the municipality of Santa Cruz, Madeira
Gaula is a coastal parish in the municipality of Santa Cruz, Madeira, lying below Camacha and created in 1558; the origin of its name, including an alleged link with the romance Amadis de Gaula, is disputed. It contains the Pico dos Eirós, the Achada de Gaula and, on its coast, the Calhau e Porto da Aldonça. It was home to the Cardoso family, seat of their São João de Latrão entail, and associated with the Nunes and Madureira families and an entail of the Conde da Calçada.
