Maria explores Faja da Caldeira Santo Cristo, which the New York Times listed as one of the most beautiful places in the world. While there she learns to cook and then tastes the unique clams that can only be found on that shoreline. Afterwards, she ferries to the island of Pico to learn more about the whaling industry, and meet with winemakers as well as taste the rare wines that were desired by kings and czars for centuries.
