FAIAL
DISCOVER THIS FANTASTIC ISLAND

The island of Faial has a roughly pentagonal outline, measuring around 173 km 2 . It is the third most populated island in the archipelago, with 14,994 residents (2011 data). The island of Faial is part of the Central Group and is the westernmost vertex of the so-called “triangle islands”.

It is presumed that the Portuguese discovery of the island occurred after the mapping of Terceira island. Its name was probably inspired by the abundance of beeches found there. Marina da Horta, opened in 1986, is one of the most famous harbors in the world. With the institution of the autonomous model, the city of Horta became the seat of the Regional Parliament of the Azores and followed the regional economic changes, developing the tertiary sector, to the detriment of the others.

The association between the island of Faial and the sea remains strong. Horta is an important center for whale watching, swimming with dolphins, diving trips and boat trips. It is possible to cross the channels between the islands in well-preserved whaling boats or rented kayaks. Sailing, windsurfing, rowing and surfing are other water activities that find good conditions in different parts of the island.

In August, the blue of the sea dominates the festivities. On the 1st, to celebrate the Festa da Senhora da Guia, a procession of boats escorts the image of the Virgin from the Porto Pim beach to the port of Horta. The animation continues with Sea Week. Initially dedicated to yachtsmen, this week of festivities is now shared by locals and visitors alike.

Octopus stewed in wine, common to many islands in the archipelago, is one of the most typical dishes on Faial. On the table, the maritime importance spreads to the fish broth and stew. Bread and corn cake are preferred accompaniments. In meat, black pudding and sausages serve as a snack or as a meal, when served with yam. In confectionery, the Fofas do Faial are typical.
