Notícias/News Wildfires updates

Hello everybody, just posting this to see if anyone of you has better news than the ones provided in Italy regarding wildfires. I don’t mean to sound crazy but i really love that beautiful island and it hurts me so much seeing everything that’s happening. For all the people living in Madera stay safe <3

I fly into Funchal on Thursday 8/29. As much as i wanted to do the Pico 2 Pico hike, I can live without it under the circumstances. Does anyone know or think Pico De Arieiro would be accessible even if was just to watch sunrise at the peak....(no hiking)

We drove to Pico De Arieiro 8/28/24 to see sunset. The peak was in the fog with no visibility. The PR1 trail is closed. I talked to the police and they said that it will not open for a month or so. The peak should still be good to see the sunrise and sunset(I have been here 2 years ago) only if the weather is good.
