About Pico
Pico is an island in the Azores dominated by Mount Pico, Portugal's highest mountain, with black-lava vineyards, whale-watching coasts and lava caves.
Pico, in the central group of the Azores in the mid-Atlantic, is shaped like a long ridge topped by a volcanic cone, Mount Pico, which at 2,351 metres is the highest point in Portugal. The island's black basalt coast is cut with natural pools and small harbours, and the main towns are Madalena, São Roque do Pico and Lajes do Pico. The cone is often wreathed in cloud.
