 | | The tranquil port-town of Madalena faces the island of Faial and its capital, Horta, at a distance of about seven kilometres (four miles) and is located on the western tip of the island of Pico (peak), named after the highest mountain of Portugal, rising 2350 metres (7,700 ft) above the Atlantic. |
 | | At the town of Madalena, it is also worth admiring the 18th-century Mother Church and several chapels, besides two strange rocks on the entrance to the harbour, named «Standing» and «Lying Down», chosen by colonies of birds to build their nests. |
