One of the main roads from Funchal to the north of Madeira but make no mistake about the degree of difficulty because soon after the beginning it starts to get pretty steep with a fairly regular percentage, so you can set yourself up well. Through many curves (where the inside can be a bit spicy) it goes up nicely through the city. Until Monte it is very busy now, also because the cable car is temporarily under maintenance. After Monte the crowds dry up quickly and a particularly beautiful route... read more

One of the main roads from Funchal to the north of Madeira but make no mistake about the degree of difficulty because soon after the beginning it starts to get pretty steep with a fairly regular percentage, so you can set yourself up well. Through many curves (where the inside can be a bit spicy) it goes up nicely through the city. Until Monte it is very busy now, also because the cable car is temporarily under maintenance. After Monte the crowds dry up quickly and a particularly beautiful route follows through a beautiful area to the clear highest point on the pass (with café). At the pass you can turn left to the Pico do Areiro and really you should always take that with you, even though the climb up to the pass itself is wonderful too.

Eén van de hoofdwegen vanuit Funchal naar het noorden van Madeira maar vergis je niet in de moeilijkheidsgraad want al snel na het begin begint het behoorlijk steil op te lopen waarbij het percentage wel behoorlijk regelmatig is, dus kan je jezelf er goed op instellen. Via vele bochten (waarbij de binnenkant wel even pittig kan zijn) loopt het door de stad mooi op. Wel is het tot Monte erg druk nu, ook omdat de kabelbaan tijdelijk in onderhoud is. Na Monte droogt de drukte snel op en volgt een bijzonder mooi traject door een prachtig gebied naar het duidelijke hoogste punt op de pas (met café). Op de pas kan je linksaf naar de Pico do Areiro en eigenlijk zou je dat altijd mee moeten nemen, ook al is de klim tot de pas zelf ook al heerlijk.
