Do
Be sure to visit the LARGE public outdoor man-made salt water pool; it's a fantastic place to relax and cool off in the Summer. The pool is deep enough for diving, as well as swimming laps. If you're swimming skills are below average, stay away from the middle, as the size is quite large.

Buy
There are two CompreBem supermarkets in this town. They both offer cheap prices for good food, colorful produce, a variety of canned goods, and an assortment of household items from fly swatters to televisions.
There is also a local shop run by a Chinese family that sells inexpensive items of almost every variety from electronics to socks.
Eat
There are many cafes in the area and all of them offer good food for reasonable prices. Variety of food is limited mainly to bread, cheese, and beef. Vegetarians may have some trouble having a balanced meal. Even the local soups will most likely have meat or meat broth as an ingredient. If you're a vegan, be prepared for starvation.
Budget
Prices for food are very reasonable by U.S standards. Clothing is mainly imported, and as a result, expensive.

Stay safe
Towns in Pico are very safe. Crime is very low and violence is almost non-existent. However, be VERY aware when crossing the streets; people on this island tend to drive a bit crazy. You will frequently see cars driving at freeway speeds on cobble stone roads. Also, it's not surprising to see cars parked in the middle of a road and blocking traffic. The driving laws are loose at best.
