LajesdoPico
7.8
High score (8-10)
Lajes do Pico sits on the south coast of Pico island, directly across the channel from Faial, and has a wine culture going back centuries — Pico's volcanic vineyards are a UNESCO site and there's a genuine pride in local identity that makes for real conversations. The whale watching industry brings some international traffic, so the town is more accustomed to outsiders than most comparably sized Azorean municipalities. A foreigner who engages with the wine and maritime heritage gets taken seriously here.
