The intense cold felt today at Pico do Areeiro brought with it hail, transforming the landscape and leaving a white blanket covering this emblematic tourist spot in the region.
Due to weather conditions and ice formation on the road, authorities have closed the road from Pico dos Melros, just below Poço das Neves, halfway between Poiso and Pico do Areeiro. This information was confirmed to JM by the Institute of Forests and Nature Conservation.
