The Azores part 2: Island Pico

In October 2022 we went to the Azores for 10 days. We visited 3 out of the 9 inhabited island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean (1300 km from Lisbon and 2500 km for New York City). The second island we went to was Pico. Enjoy in the video pictures and drone footage of: - The flight with a small propeller airplane to the island of Pico (from the island of São Miguel, 30 minutes) - Mount Pico (2300 meters), the largest mountain of Portugal, to be seen from every place on this island - The red mills, typical to be seen at many places - Wine Tasting at the property of the youngest winemaker on the Azores: Lucas Lopes Amaral (https://www.adegalucasamaral.pt/nl/) - The black coastline of this volcanic island - The vineyards planted on lava soil of Pico are surrounded by walls of loose stones called “currais” or “curraletas”. The walls protect the vines from the sea breeze, but allow the sun to pass through, which is necessary for the ripening.
