Church of Saint Mary Magdalene

Highlight • Religious Site

The Igreja de Santa Maria Madalena church stands above the small natural harbor of Madalena and forms the center of the town. In the immediate vicinity are various restaurants and the ferry port, from which one can translate to Fajal.

Maroiços Park

Highlight • Monument

Here is the most beautiful of the pyramids on Pico, roughly framed by a playground and modern buildings. And that's just supposed to be - as the sign says - a kind of spoil heap for volcanic rocks? More recent studies seem to paint a different picture. The resemblance to buildings on Tenerife, for example, is remarkable. So it is evidence of an early culture on Pico after all?

Furna de Frei Matias

Highlight • Cave

The Furna de Frei Matias is an approximately 100 m long, freely accessible cave below the Pico. It was created when Lava ran down the slope and left a tunnel. On the ceiling are stalactites, which are colored brown by iron. The cave is only rarely visited. It is the starting point for a hike to Madalena.

Wine Museum

Highlight • Monument

Here you will be informed about the traditional winegrowing on the island of Pico. Each vine is surrounded by a stone wall to protect it from the extremes of weather. A pretty orange viewing pavilion offers an overview of the area. Equally impressive are the large dragon trees on the site.
