Some corrections on my previous review, apologies. You can start in Funchal and go any way up to the crossing of the Estrada Comandante Camacho de Freitas & Caminho das Courelas, which is where the bakery and coffee place is (the Três paus route is much steeper)... read more

Amazing climb!!! Starting point, like all climbs in this area, is optional, you can go any route up (pico de Barcelona for example), till the big crossing of the Freitas & Courelas. There is a busy bakery / Coffee house to refill for the 2nd part. The views from the top down the valley of the Nuns (curral de Freitas) are breathtaking.
