At the fork to the Pico Grande, it is advisable to let your eyes wander again.

The summit of Pico Grande was mostly covered in clouds. It's worth taking a warm jacket and waiting a little. Maybe the wind will blow the clouds away and you'll have a beautiful view.

The tour to Pico Grande has a very alpine character. Some sections are a bit confusing, especially in thick fog, and you have to climb a bit on the way up. I would recommend weatherproof clothing, good non-slip hiking shoes, something to drink and something to eat. Don't forget: hiking guide or map or sat nav. From

Miradouro da Boca da Corrida to Pico Grande, it took me about 6 hours on the way back, including breaks.
