A toast “in the mountain house”
January 28, 2025The adrenaline started the moment the visitors got into the buggy. With their seatbelts fastened and their helmets adjusted, the engine roared loudly, announcing the beginning of an unforgettable experience. The route took them through the iconic vineyards of Pico Island, where nature and history meet in perfect harmony.
As they advanced, the wind blew against their faces, and the surrounding landscape revealed itself to be breathtaking. The volcanic stone walls, carefully built over centuries to protect the vines from the Atlantic winds, created a veritable natural labyrinth. The buggy wound along the narrow tracks, passing through uneven terrain and small patches of dense vegetation, making the experience even more exciting.
As the path became more challenging, the excitement grew. The wheels crunched over loose rocks and the passengers laughed at every bump, feeling part of the island’s wild and untouched landscape. Branches and leaves lightly brushed the buggy’s hood, as if nature itself was welcoming the adventure.
In a moment of pause, they were able to contemplate the surrounding scenery. The contrast between the vibrant green of the vineyards and the black of the volcanic rocks was impressive, while in the background, the ocean stretched as far as the eye could see. It was one of those rare moments when everything seemed to stop, allowing them to absorb every detail of the grandeur of that place.
At the end of the journey, the travelers got out of the buggy with their hearts racing and a sparkle in their eyes. They had experienced something unique, a journey that combined history, adventure and the raw beauty of Pico Island. Amidst laughter and shared memories, they were certain that this experience would remain etched in their memories forever and if they had the chance, they would do it all over again.
