Pico Vermelho
About
Pico Vermelho, on Madeira, stands at Caminho do Morgado 9385, Lombada Velha, Portugal.
Pico Vermelho is a viewpoint, and first-time visitors can expect an elevated spot for looking out over the surrounding terrain. A 4.3 out of 5 average from 96 reviews reflects steady appreciation among those who make the trip. Lombada Velha sits away from the main coastal strip, and the viewpoint is reachable by car from Funchal, Câmara de Lobos and Calheta, with Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente and Porto Moniz further afield. The mid-Atlantic islands are volcanic in origin and stand far from any continental mainland, which gives viewpoints such as this one their wide horizons.
Rain falls mainly in the winter half of the year on the northern islands, while the southern islands are drier overall, so conditions vary across a visit. Sea temperatures stay warm enough for swimming through much of the year, though the water remains cooler than in the Mediterranean. Music and dance run through island life, from morna and coladeira to Azorean folk songs, and both surface at festivals and in village halls.
Travellers based in Funchal or Câmara de Lobos can reach Lombada Velha by road, while guests staying in Caniço, Machico, Santana, São Vicente, Porto Moniz or Calheta face a longer drive across the island. The viewpoint suits a short stop rather than a full day out, and the surrounding terrain rewards those who arrive with time to spare.
