Description

    MEETING POINT IN THE ATLANTIC

    Come live an adventure in the middle of the Atlantic, on one of the islands that serves as a haven for adventurers, sailors and explorers. Faial, known as the Blue Island due to the omnipresence of hydrangeas along the roads, is an extraordinarily happy landform, and Horta, the capital, welcomes you in a frank and open manner, being accustomed to receiving visitors from around the world. Find your haven in Pousada da Horta.

    Come spend a few days at Pousada da Horta, which occupies the space of the Fort of SantaCruz. This location offers an incredible viewover the Bay of Horta and the neighboring islandofPico. Faial and Horta are always been sought after by sailors and adventurers crossing the Atlantic, offering a safe and quiet haven.

    DESTINATION:
    Upon arriving at the airport of Horta, it is easy to see the beauty and proximity of the islands around and be tempted to know them well. But first, go to the historic center of Horta and find the Forte near the jetties. Cross with explorers of all nationalities and start to feel the unique atmosphere that lives on this island.

    On Faial, the ideal is to rent a car and go through all the roads you meet. The landscapes are always surprising and the green and blue contrast surpasses any expectations you have about the Azorean nature. Climb to Monte da Guia and head to the tip of Espalamaca, risk to do the Capelinhos trail and be sure to visit the Caldeira, a mystical and unforgettable experience, made even more sublime and mysterious by the unpredictable behavior of the fog.

    Back to Horta, be sure to stop by the famous and international Peter Café Sport, where you can also find a scrimshaw museum, with engravings on ivory reminiscent of the strong whaling zone. Here, the gin is mandatory, as are the sandwiches.
