You\u2019ll have time to truly take in the landscape, connect with nature and its heritage, and engage with the local community and its customs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cria\u00e7\u00e3o Velha is a truly unique place, full of the essence that earned it UNESCO recognition. But the character of the wine and vineyards goes beyond the landscape\u2014it\u2019s woven into the fabric of the community, reflected in its customs, traditions, cultural and religious life, and, above all, in its authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lose yourself in the vast basalt labyrinths of the vineyards, visit the churches and the &lsquo;imp\u00e9rio&rsquo;, admire the manor houses, understand the vital role of the tidal wells, and pay close attention to the flora and fauna\u2014you might even spot rare and endemic species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People\u2019s attachment to their land is also reflected in their well-being during daily life, festivals, and leisure time, which they gladly share with others. Public squares are the preferred venues for festivities, along with green spaces and picnic parks, which also serve as great spots for physical activity. Continuing with the theme of leisure and exercise, the Laja das Rosas bathing area is perfect for a relaxing dip in the sea and a snack at the end of the day. Heading up the path toward the mountains, you\u2019ll come across Portugal\u2019s largest lava tube: the Gruta das Torres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting places means experiencing, enjoying, respecting, preserving, and protecting them \u2014 not just physically, but also in their intangible aspects. So don\u2019t miss the chance to join a roda de chamarrita\u2014 the vibrant round dance deeply tied to Azorean cultural heritage \u2014 or to take part in the Holy Spirit festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And no experience would be complete without savouring the best and most traditional products Cria\u00e7\u00e3o Velha has to offer. Here you can taste and buy one of Pico Island\u2019s finest cheeses, as well as traditional corn cakes and bread, bolos l\u00eavedos, and other sweet pastries. In a land of wines and spirits, seek out the wine cellars \u2014 you might be lucky enough to witness the distillation process. And still appealing to both your palate and our history, try the regional wines and discover the best grape varieties and internationally awarded wines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"942\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/rota.jf-criacaovelha.pt\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/logo-principalPOIS-1-942x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rota.jf-criacaovelha.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/logo-principalPOIS-1-942x1024.png 942w, https:\/\/rota.jf-criacaovelha.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/logo-principalPOIS-1-276x300.png 276w, https:\/\/rota.jf-criacaovelha.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/logo-principalPOIS-1-768x835.png 768w, https:\/\/rota.jf-criacaovelha.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/logo-principalPOIS-1-1414x1536.png 1414w, https:\/\/rota.jf-criacaovelha.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/logo-principalPOIS-1.png 1604w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 942px) 100vw, 942px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visiting the sites and exploring the trails on foot or by bicycle is the ultimate experience!
