Hiking
Small parish of Lajes do Pico, with a very inviting port and church. Its first historical mention dates back to 1506, indicating occupation during the first years of Portuguese navigation. The name Nesquim originates from a myth where a dog - named Nesquim - would have guided three shipwrecked people to the coast, saving them.
