As the administrative center of the city of Santa Catarina, Picos is known for its unique mountainous landscape and agrarian economy, surrounded by terraced farmland planted mainly with corn, beans and fruit trees.

The city is located in a volcanic landscape with a tropical arid climate, with an average annual temperature of about 25°C. The surrounding mountains are green for a short period of time during the rainy season (August-October), while during the dry season the landscape is predominantly yellowish-brown. Picos is an important gateway to the mountainous interior of the island of Santiago, and the highway connects the capital city of Playa with the main port of Tarrafal.

The local population, mostly dependent on agriculture and small-scale trade, retains a traditional Creole culture. The weekly open-air market is the centerpiece of the region's economic vitality, trading agricultural products and handicrafts. The city's architecture is a blend of Portuguese colonial style and African elements, with low-rise colorful houses scattered along the hills.

Tourist Highlights
