Pico Grande, Mountain summit in Madeira, Portugal.
Pico Grande stands at 1,662 meters above sea level, forming part of the central mountain chain that extends across Madeira Island through volcanic formations.
Portuguese navigators in the 15th century used Pico Grande as a crucial navigation reference point when approaching Madeira's coastline from different directions.
Local residents maintain traditional agricultural methods on terraced fields near Pico Grande, cultivating regional crops adapted to mountain conditions.
The summit trail starts at Boca da Corrida, requiring sturdy footwear and warm clothing due to temperature variations between base and peak.
The mountain peak functions as a natural water collector, channeling precipitation into the levada system that distributes water across Madeira Island.
