What To Expect

This journey will initiate its course in central Funchal and will head towards Pico´s Fortress. It is called that way due to its proximity to the Ribeira São João (stream), and because it was built on Pico dos Frias early in the 17th century.
This amazing fortress took part in the defensive system that protected the city of Funchal against the attack of pirates, French corsairs, and Argelian moors and functions as a safety gate to battlement, over the Ribeira de São João (stream).
These historical facts, and many other curious and fun details about the seen places will be given throughout the entire tour.
