Ilha Azul
About
Ilha Azul serves Faial from 9900-429 Pedro Miguel, a parish on the island's western side. Visitors have scored it 4.6 out of 5 across 97 reviews, a strong and consistent reception. Horta, Capelo, Praia do Norte, Cedros, Caldeira and Feteira all lie within reach on the same island. Horta is the main town and port, so the venue is easy to reach from there and from the other settlements along the coast.
Pedro Miguel sits on the western side of Faial, a position that places the venue between the harbour town and the island's volcanic interior. The Caldeira lies inland, and Capelo and Praia do Norte stretch toward the western tip.
Island cooking is built around fresh seafood, local cheeses and wines grown in volcanic soil, which shapes what visitors eat while they are here. Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September. Carnival, religious processions and bull-running on a rope are part of the island calendar, so the timing of a trip can shape what a visitor sees. The islands were settled by the Portuguese from the fifteenth century and became stopping points on Atlantic shipping routes.
