Here and in a few other areas of the island, you’ll see the land divided up into small rectangular plots by piles of black basalt (volcanic rock formed by lava), a centuries-old practice. These walls protect the vines from the strong ocean winds and salt water spray as well as warm the grapes.

The unique landscape of volcanic rock, historical vineyards, and Mount Pico jutting out of the center of the island are breathtaking. You can stay on the island, or if you prefer, you can stay in Horta on Faial Island and take the ferry across for the day. Here, we captured the pinks of the sunset reflecting on Mount Pico as we pulled out of the ferry station in Madalena, headed back to Horta. #InStone #VolcanicRock #MountPico #Azores](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6144445/41d80585-12ea-49fb-a7fb-eed132508353.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Madalena ![Panoramic view of Fishing village Lajes do Pico with Volcano Mount Pico in background in morning light, Pico Island - Azores](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6159823/1fc123ad-7f19-415a-9626-b38ed190af1b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Lajes do Pico - Cities near Bandeiras - Places of interest [Sao Roque do Pico](https://expedia.com/Sao-Roque-Do-Pico.dx6133974)[Madalena](https://expedia.com/Madalena.dx6144445)[Lajes do Pico](https://expedia.com/Lajes-Do-Pico.dx6159823)[Sao Mateus](https://expedia.com/Sao-Mateus.dx6348415) - [Horta Harbour ](https://expedia.com/Horta-Harbour-Horta.d6192587.Vacation-Attraction) - [São João Forest Reserve ](https://expedia.com/Sao-Joao-Forest-Reserve-Lajes-do-Pico.d553248635974717233.Vacation-Attraction) - [Mount Pico ](https://expedia.com/Mount-Pico-Madalena.d6118686.Vacation-Attraction) - [Horta Historic Center ](https://expedia.com/Horta-Historic-Center-Azores.d6192597.Vacation-Attraction) - [Porto Pim Whale Factory Museum ](https://expedia.com/Porto-Pim-Whale-Factory-Museum-Horta.d6192595.Vacation-Attraction) - [Igreja de Sao Jorge ](https://expedia.com/Igreja-De-Sao-Jorge-Velas.d6264643.Vacation-Attraction) - [Capelinhos ](https://expedia.com/Capelinhos-Horta.d6118688.Vacation-Attraction) - [Peter's Scrimshaw Museum ](https://expedia.com/Peters-Scrimshaw-Museum-Horta.d6192592.Vacation-Attraction) - [Caldeira ](https://expedia.com/Caldeira-Horta.d553248621532485202.Vacation-Attraction) - [Gruta das Torres ](https://expedia.com/Gruta-Das-Torres-Madalena.d6254617.Vacation-Attraction) - [Fort of Santa Cruz ](https://expedia.com/Fort-Of-Santa-Cruz-Horta.d6192602.Vacation-Attraction) - [Museu do Vinho ](https://expedia.com/Museu-Do-Vinho-Madalena.d6254611.Vacation-Attraction) - [Convent of Sao Roque do Pico ](https://expedia.com/Convent-Of-Sao-Roque-Do-Pico-Sao-Roque-do-Pico.d6262555.Vacation-Attraction) - [Whaler’s Museum ](https://expedia.com/Whalers-Museum-Lajes-do-Pico.d6255829.Vacation-Attraction) - [Capelinhos Point ](https://expedia.com/Capelinhos-Point-Horta.d6118690.Vacation-Attraction) - [Ponta dos Rosais Lighthouse ](https://expedia.com/Ponta-Dos-Rosais-Lighthouse-Velas.d6118694.Vacation-Attraction) - [Caiado Lagoon ](https://expedia.com/Caiado-Lagoon-Lajes-do-Pico.d6262550.Vacation-Attraction) - [Horta Regional Museum ](https://expedia.com/Horta-Regional-Museum-Horta.d6192585.Vacation-Attraction) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save even more - get up to 20% on select hotels when you book on the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
