Portugal's highest mountain! Mt. Pico in Azores Islandsl! Pico Island was my last day in the Azores and it was my only day there. A great way to end my March 2019 trip. This majestic volcano is 2,351 m (7,713 ft) above sea level, and is one of the highest Atlantic mountains; it is more than twice the elevation of any other peak in the Azores. And there are breathtaking views from all across the small volcanic island. I got many good shots of it, including this one.

I took a tour around some parts of the island, before flying out of the Azores that day. It was a really great way to end this trip! And this being one of the best spots to see the volcano. It's an idyllic lake view! There was even some birds in the water :). Also, Pico doesn't have nearly as many tourists as the main Azores island. Which makes this all the more peaceful. And in the tradition of the Portuguese poet, Raul Brandão, Pico is referred to as the Ilha Preta ("Black Island"), for its black volcanic earth, responsible for its UNESCO-designated historical vineyards that allowed the development of the island. If anyone goes to the Azores I really recommend a stay on Pico!
