The Quinta das Rosas, a Forestry Reserve situated close to the town of Madalena, is an attractive leisure park with a picnic area, small lakes and other recreational facilities. One of its most notable features is a Maroiço, a characteristic structure of the island of Pico, consisting of a mound built from loose stones. In the Quinta, you will find a remarkable variety of botanical plants, such as the tree fern, originating from Australia, aucubas, camellias, hibiscus, trumpet plants and bush lilies. Also to be found here are various large-sized trees, such as planes, palms, horse chestnuts, araucarias and dragon-trees.
