Piedade is on the east end of the island Pico. The village is 130 m above the ocean. In the centre of the village you will find banks, supermarket and cafés, even an internet café. The environment is dominated by wine fields and grazing fields. For people of nature and traveler is this an always green island - the ideal place. On the east side live not many people. Even more and more fields lie fallow and convert to pasturage, the people cultivate wine, potatos, vegetables and corn for your own requirements. Between the fields is woodland and little lakes. Here on Pico, the people are more than on the other island, faithful to there old tradition. On the boarder from Piedade on the way to calheta is the beautiful 'parque Matos Souto'. The layout of the garden is marvellous and there is also a little lake and a house with birds.
