The way the vineyards are organized is also a demonstration of the islanders' astuteness: in the face of the adversity of a soil that prevented the island's agrarian development, these black labyrinths were raised for the benefit of the cultivation itself. The result makes the landscape of Pico a unique sight, with short black volcanic walls punctuated with green next to the sea.
