Several years ago I've made a solo hike, on a May's late afternoon, to Pico Grande (1654mts). Right below the peak there's a grassy small high plateau where you can drop your pack for awhile and just enjoy a moment of peacefulness.
Here, on clear, cloudless days, we also have a breathtaking and not-so-common vista of Madeira's central massif.
On the horizon, along the ridge line, we can see, from left to right, Pico Ruívo, the needles of Pico das Torres and Pico do Arieiro, with its Portuguese Air Force radar dome.
On the lower left of the picture it's visible, near the shadow line, the suspended valley of Curral Jangão, rewarding us, depending of the season, with its wild chestnut and cherry trees if we fancy a hike down there.
