Caminho Portuguese - March 2022
Thank you all for the quick response in locating this cross just after Alto Labruja! Now that I can find it when I go there in March, I'd love to know:
  1. IT's name
  2. Why it is there
  3. Any history surrounding it.
  4. While I'm asking, will it rain alot in March?
Thank you!

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Maybe this one? I took this photo about half an hour after taking a photo of the Cruz dos Franceses.

Yes! Thank you!
That's the one I am thinking of. If anyone knows its name, history, and why it is there, I would appreciate it!!

I took this photo 10 minutes earlier:

which may help to identify its location.
 
I found this on a Brazilean website. I remember seeing this cross but do not know where. Anyway when we went down from the highest point of the Alto do Portelo Grande. But no problem it is on the waymarked path so keep your eyes open untill you will see it.
