Pico do Arieiro Radar Station

This unique radar station appears high above the trees on the mountain's summit. Pico do Arieiro, at 1,818 m high, is Madeira Island's third highest peak. Most days, you can stand and look down on the clouds. The air is fresh and clear and the sun is very bright. On a clear day it is possible to see the neighbouring island of Porto Santo, 30 miles to the northeast. (Pico do Arieiro, Madeira Island, Spain)
