Raul Brandao, the Portugese poet, famously made note of the iconic blue hydrangeas that bloom on Faial during the summer months, quipping 'the man that had the idea to border the road with these plants should have a statute on the island.' Visit the island's resident volcano, Capelinhos, or rather the volcano centre as the climb up is not considered safe. Capelinhos last erupted in 1957 and changed the island permanently, adding an extra kilometre of land mass and blanketing the surrounding area in five metres of volcanic ash. The rest of the day is free to explore the local port town, Horta, and discover its long maritime history.","sort":4,"tour_id":3978,"ref_parts_id":"5","extra":{"meals":{"dinnersIncluded":0,"lunchesIncluded":0,"breakfastsIncluded":"1"},"accommodationList":{"description":"Hotel","numberOfNights":"1"},"includedActivityList":{"description":"Faial - Capelinhos Volcano Interpretation Centre"},"optionalActivityList":[]}},{"id":41069,"created_at":"2021-05-15T19:01:58.000000Z","updated_at":"2022-07-06T20:03:04.000000Z","title":"Day 6: Pico Island \/ Faial Island \/ Horta","image_url":null,"description":"Leave Faial for the day to visit Ilha do Pico (Pico Island). Known as Ilha Preta (Black Island) for its black volcanic earth, Pico is the proud home of UNESCO-designated vineyards that have played a major part in the community\u2019s development. Today you will set out on a marvellous hike through these historic vineyards and the surrounding villages, passing by wine cellars, shelter houses, tide wells and \u201crelheiras\u201d \u2013 tracks left by ox carts. Stop in at a winery for a well-deserved tasting of the celebrated local vino and learn a little more about its history on the island. Later in the day, you may like to take part in an optional whale watching tour. Up until 1980, the island supported a substantial whaling industry due to the deep waters of the surrounding Atlantic. Fortunately, the end of the industry means whale watching has become a popular activity for sea-faring visitors. You'll be back on Faial Island for the evening and that means there's time for a cheeky G&T at Cafe Sport (aka Peter's Bar), perhaps the most famous sailor's bar in the world. This watering hole was once a crucial post office and gossip stop for travelling sailors in a pre-internet era. For some, it still is.","sort":5,"tour_id":3978,"ref_parts_id":"6","extra":{"meals":{"dinnersIncluded":0,"lunchesIncluded":0,"breakfastsIncluded":"1"},"accommodationList":{"description":"Hotel","numberOfNights":"1"},"includedActivityList":[{"description":"Pico Island - Day Trip"},{"description":"Pico Island - Wine Tasting"},{"description":"Pico Island - Criacao Velha Vineyards UNESCO World Heritage Site"}],"optionalActivityList":[{"price":{"#text":"62","@currency":"EUR"},"description":"Pico Island - Whale Watching Excursion"},{"price":{"#text":"8","@currency":"EUR"},"description":"Pico Island - Gruta das Torres Lava Tubes"}]}},{"id":41070,"created_at":"2021-05-15T19:01:58.000000Z","updated_at":"2022-07-06T20:03:04.000000Z","title":"Day 7: Faial Island \/ Horta","image_url":null,"description":"Say goodbye Azores!
