    Immediately next to the summit is a radar station of the Portuguese Air Force that can be seen from afar.

      The radar station at Pico do Areeiro, officially known as Estação de Radar No. 4, is a major military installation of the Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa). It was commissioned on May 9, 2013, and is part of the national air surveillance system.
      The radar station is located directly next to the summit of Pico do Areeiro (1,818 m) and is visible from afar due to its distinctive white dome. The summit is accessible via a well-maintained road from the Poiso Pass.
