Looking for a place to get away from it all? Alan and Lesley Woodward have a self catering cabin on their property, with a fabulous view of Pico mountain, plus a number of other houses and cabins in the Pedro Miguel and Almoxarife area of Faial. |
If you want to experience life in the country, Azorean style, this is the place to come! You may see horses, oxen and donkeys working as pack animals, plowing or pulling carts. During the local festivals ox-carts and even goat-carts are used to carry bread, wine and cheese in a decorative procession.
Pedro Miguel, is just 10 minutes and Almoxarife about 5 minutes, by car, from the main town of Horta and all that it offers. Both villages have beaches either within walking distance, or short driving distance, of the various accommodations.
From Horta you can go whale watching, swimming with dolphins, deep sea, coastal and sport fishing, diving and sailing. These are the main attractions, along with a visit to our spectacular "Caldeira", and the dramatic Capelinhos eruption site.
There are passenger ferries to Pico and Sao Jorge, allowing you to explore two more islands during your stay on Faial. Pico boasts the highest mountain in Portugal, a whaling museum, whaling factory and fascinating lava tube caves. Sao Jorge is simply a beautiful, quiet island, ridged with volcanic craters and edged by cliffs sheltering pretty villages - the "fajas".
