Thank you for watching Helia! Cheers!

Ola Carlos & Laura. Thank you for sharing the Baixa village. Very pretty. The ocean view WOW 🤩 Bom dia 😁

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Glad you enjoyed it, Baixa is a very cool area of Pico. Saude!

[@CarlosRodrigues-ue4tp]

My mother and her family is from the Baixa, the houses before the port were originally used for salt storage brought in by boat. The trail leading up from the port was the original way to the water before the road was constructed. I have returned to the Baixa 6 times and spend 6 to 7 weeks with the family and spear fish with my son. We have visited 6 of the islands, my father is from Horta Faial and I'm hoping to build a vacation home in the Baixa on a piece of waterfront property that was left to me by my grandmother. Love all your videos and looking forward to more, thank you

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

A place like Baixa is paradise in paradise. You must have a lot of amazing memories, love hearing them. I think this area has to be one of the best places on Pico to have a vacation home. Take good care Carlos!

[@mariacarreiro7396]

Hi Laura and Carlos, thank you for another great video 🤞you guys do such a great job, please keep them coming 😀

Very nice, great job my friends :-)

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

[@lucilial2480]

Walking down is way better than walking up. Gorgeous. They have a festa called “Festa do chicharro “ in the summer. All day entertainment and a dinner . Soo fun.

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

It's a great workout, up or down. lol If you love charro, this feast is a must. Glad you enjoyed it! Take care Lucilla!

Incredible journey and beautiful part of the island. What a quaint little beautiful place.

A must visit, glad you enjoyed it! Cheers!

[@johngomez3254]

beautiful video guys-----I am getting closer to my home!

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Great to hear that John, glad you enjoyed it. There is nothing like home! Cheers!

[@wayneparks]

The beautiful people who live on the north side of Pico enjoy that privileged view of São Jorge Island, which is truly spectacular day and night. However, what we have on the south side, I think, is much better because we have sunnier weather than they do. ;-) I am biased because we love our home in São Mateus. Another amazing video with awesome views!

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Glad you enjoyed it Wayne, so much to explore on this wonderful island called Pico. Cheers!

[@tonymatos6528]

Once again great video seeing the north side of the island and looking across the ocean and seeing island of Sao Jorge beautiful blue wave's and the greenery of the background of the island sometimes you just have to stop slow down and look around and smell the roses around you . Thank you God bless 🙏

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

So many beautiful areas around Pico and all the islands of the Azores. There is so much scent in the area, plants, trees, the ocean etc. Stop, relax and take it all in is the way to wellness. Take good care Tony!

[@frankquaresma8905]

Thanks for the tour. The colors, deep blue sea, the greens of the hills. Sao Jorge in background, all the way to tip to Topo where my other grandfather came from. Video does not show the true image of the Azores... Longing to get back, thanks Carlos and Laura!!!

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

It's a beautiful on an amazing island. Glad you enjoyed it. Take good care Frank!

Viv

[@briant3404]

wow!

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

I second that! Cheers!

[@endrefidje5698]

I guess those stones on the roof tiles were put there to prevent them from becoming "air-born" during winter storms ... 🙂. Nice scenery ;-)

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

I think its an added measure. Some roofs are less secure than others, especially older houses. Glad you enjoyed the scenery! Cheers!

[@scrapsaturdays]

… that blue ocean … those amazing waves , what a spot !!! What a view !!! … I am gonna keep saying ., love these vlogs I wish you were on daily … hugs to you both Carlos & Laura xox

Thanks for the video of the baixa. I knew I recognized the strange pine tree along the road. My relatives have adegas in the baixa. If you're around in August they have a Festa do Piexe for the month. The trail marks go up to the main village, tons of trails everywhere.

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Thank you for watching, glad you enjoyed it. I will visit Baixa every time we're on Pico. I was here once, the feast of charrinho. Take care Dina!

Great video guys!.. Cute area and the weather looks great. That plant I think is called Agave attenuate, or fox tail agave, I want one too!..👍

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Glad you enjoyed it James. I will tell Laura, beautiful plant. We just planted 5 of them on our property. Take care!

[@yvetteburger9041]

Hi Laura, in South Africa we call those plants Sonsoekers ,(Afrikaans language).. with meaning, sun seekers as the tend to turn towards sun .. warm regards from Cape Town🥰

We have those and more on our list. What an incredible island. Take care Lucy!!

[@bgmckeown]

Love this video, the views of São Jorge are incredible, that's why we love staying on the northern side of Pico. I remember watching several whales swimming in the channel between the two islands. Keep these amazing out-and-about videos coming 😊

[@angelakaufmann286]

I would love to see more of your house progress and what’s going on with the house please 🙏

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

We are working an a short updated reno video. I wish there was more done, but it has been painfully slow. Take care Angela!

[@jessedeschenes4127]

Your favorite plant is a foxtail agave (agave attenuata). They're one of my favorite plants too but unfortunately they don't make it through the winter here in North Carolina.

[@DarrenJCrawford]

I can't wait to get over there, we woke up to snow on the ground yesterday morning, and then it snowed again in the afternoon. Have you seen any electric cars on the island?

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Sorry about the snow, here it's rain and wind at the moment. Yes electric cars electric stations are here. Cheers

[@fernandademelo2245]

Hi Carlos and Laura! We will be leaving Ontario on May 12th for Pico! Are you still going be on the Island?
