Rodrigo P. · Travel Sales Advisor
“On Pico, save room for the tapas and wine day: the vines grow inside black lava stone walls, a UNESCO World Heritage landscape, and the local whites taste of the sea. We are an Azores team living on these islands, so the guides run the tours and we are on the phone for everything else.”
