Faial Island, located approximately 180 miles northwest of Ponta Delgada in the Azores island chain, captivates visitors on first glance. Nicknamed the 'Blue Island', Faial's fields and hillsides are dotted by ubiquitous and colorful hydrangeas. The main seaport on Faial Island is Horta, a town which was founded in the 15th century. Faial Island was formed by an extinct volcano, and the center of the island is occupied by a mile-long crater called a caldera. After enjoying the island's beauty, visitors can kick back and relax in a geothermally-heated lagoon at the island's renowned natural spa.
From the capital, to two of its gorgeous Islands in the Azores, Portugal is at your grasp like never before. Start this unforgettable adventure in Lisbon (the capital of Portugal; full of medieval charm and modern sensibilities) and then, fly to Faial (known as the Blue Island of the Azores due its profusion of blue hydrangeas).
