Cultural Tour – Faial Island

The small size of the Horta city might induce you to think that you can tour and explore it without a tour guide. One thing is certain, if you do so, you will never get lost! But, if you would compare Horta to a book of a library, it would be one of the oldest, dustiest and stuffed of its section. There are so many hidden stories laying beneath the basalt rocks which set up the city.

Faial is an island with a detailed and intense historical past. Its influences are originated mainly from 2 continents, Europe and North America. Those heritages are still well preserved and Horta city presents itself, nowadays, as an excellency stage for its past.
