Mauro De Brasi

August 28, 2023, Escursione Escursione a Faial, Azzorre, Monte da Guia e Monte Queimado

If you have half a day in Horta and don't know what to do, this is a wonderful walk that starts from the town and offers wonderful views of the urban center, Pico and the south coast of Faial. The trail also passes by the best beach on the island, the museum of the whaling industry and the Faial aquarium (it was closed at a later date due to technical issues).
