Quite a slog in the heat - and when we chose to walk up the mist and rain descended so we didn't see many views.
Amazing views, over the island,needed the breather by the time we reached the point, as it's hard work on the walk up!
it is a mountain peak that gives you an xcellent view of the island. A difficult walk up but worth while. Can use transport if preferred.
What a great location. Reasonably priced food and drink with the most fantastic view. This location really does take your breath away!
you see all the island from here. it was great. you need to travel up by car / coach b ut the last section is by foot. a really nice walk and the views are great.
You can only drive part way up this and its hard going but worth it for the view of the entire island remember to take a drink this was our mistake and there is nowhere to buy one on the way up
We walked up to the view point which was a very fulfilling experience once you could see those amazing views of the island
The walk from here up Pico Castello and around the next mountain is fabulous ! We got a taxi from the town to the view point , then walked up and around calling a taxi again 4hrs later on our return. It's a climb to the top but worth it, the views all around the island are wonderful . Take a picnic and you can make a day of it. . The tracks are way marked and it's a simple but lovely out around and back.
This is one of the highest points of the island and it's cool to see the cannon turned into the sea ready to be fired. The view is stunning and you can have a perspective of what the island dimensions and proportions are.
Never get tired of climbing this little mountain, the terraces and plants are just fabulous and the views fantastic all the way to Madeira.
