Faial Island, part of Portugal's Azores archipelago, is known as the 'Blue Island' due to the countless hydrangeas that bloom across its landscape in summer. This volcanic island offers stunning natural beauty with dramatic coastlines, lush green hills, and the impressive Capelinhos Volcano, where you can see the aftermath of the 1957-58 eruption that expanded the island. The main town of Horta is famous for its marina, where sailors from around the world stop during Atlantic crossings and leave colourful paintings on the harbour walls – a tradition believed to bring good luck. Visitors can enjoy whale watching tours, as the waters around the Azores are home to over 20 cetacean species. The island hosts the lively Semana do Mar (Sea Week) festival each August, featuring sailing competitions, music, and cultural events. From Horta, ferries connect to the neighbouring islands of Pico, São Jorge, and Terceira, making Faial an excellent base for exploring the central Azores.
Flores, the westernmost island of Portugal's Azores archipelago, offers a unique experience for travellers seeking natural beauty off the beaten path. This volcanic island is known for its stunning landscapes with deep valleys, crystal-clear lakes, and magnificent waterfalls. Visitors can explore the Rocha dos Bordões, an impressive formation of vertical basalt columns, or hike to the Seven Lakes, a collection of crater lakes nestled in lush green surroundings. The island's main port, Santa Cruz das Flores, serves as the primary connection point for ferry services. From Flores, travellers can easily sail to neighbouring Corvo, the smallest Azorean island, while longer routes connect to Faial and other central Azores islands. The summer months bring the colourful Festa do Emigrante, celebrating the island's connection with its diaspora through music, dance and traditional food. With its mild climate and unspoiled nature, Flores provides a perfect escape for those looking to experience authentic Portuguese island culture.
