    The Pico Ruivo refuge is a few minutes from the summit. It suggests an ideal break with breathtaking views of the island's most impressive mountains. Totally disheartening!

      The honey cake was moldy and there was no toilet. The owner was unfriendly to his customers. Afterwards, we went to Achada do Teixeira, 2 km away, where there was a wider selection at normal prices.

        The mountain hut on Pico Ruivo is located just below the summit and offers welcome shelter from wind, rain, and sun. You can take a relaxing break on the benches, have something to eat, and gather your thoughts for the final ascent. It's the perfect place to warm up briefly, adjust your clothing, and enjoy the views of the surrounding ridges.
