Azores, Faial Maria Marques
Horta
11. marts 2018, Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
We thought about visiting Pico on the 2nd day but the weather conditions weren't favourable and the Port in Pico was closed... Maybe next time we can go there as well as to São Jorge. Anyway, we could still go a bit further around Faial and had a nice lunch in Cedros. Before lunch, we still had time to go to the natural pools in Varadouro. The afternoon was to relax and get ready to make the last stop for me - Peter's café. It was nice to meet such a lot of different people coming from all over the world. There was a regatta and 18 sailboats had reached the port in Horta. It was a loud merry environment where a lot of languages could be heard. Nice weekend!Læs mere

Azores, Faial Maria Marques
Vulcão dos Capelinhos

In Faial you can visit a lot of spots related to volcanoes because it was how the island was formed. It is 21 km in length and 14 km at the maximum width and it looks like a pentagon. The island is part of the Central Group and is the westernmost corner of the so-called “Triangle Islands”, which also include São Jorge and Pico, the latter just 6 km away from Faial. From Horta you can see the highest mountain in Portugal - Pico.
On this first day we could visit the Caldeira, with its ice-cold wind, Praia do Almoxarife, Monte da Guia, Porto Pim, Horta Marina, the Capelinhos Vulcano and the Espalamaca viewpoint.Læs mere
