I believe Mount Pico is a volcano in the Azores, at one time a Portuguese colony.
The Pico volcano is not situated in Africa; it's in the Azores, Portugal, which is part of the European continent. The volcano itself is considered very recent, with an estimate age of 750,000 years.
Azores
There aren't any Portuguese islands of Gibraltar. You may be thinking about Madeira off Africa.
The tallest in the continent is Serra da Estrela, but in the Azores (one of the Portuguese archipelagos) there is a taller one: a mountain called Pico, on Pico island.
