Horta, the capital of Faial, from where the boat to Pico leaves. Also the place where sailors crossing the ocean stay to have a break and leave a painting in the harbour. And with the bay of Porto Pim, to take a dive in the ocean.
And then Capelinhos,the new land, created by natural disasters in the 1950s due to a volcanic eruption in the Atlantic Ocean. Lava and ash made it cling to Faial. Grey, powerful en big.
