Queijeiro
About
Choose Queijeiro for local business in Faial, found at R. Advogado Graça, 9900-104 Horta, Portugal. The shop sits in Horta, the island's main town and its Atlantic port.
Queijeiro operates as a food shop, and the name points to cheese as its speciality, with the island's dairy produce at the centre of what it sells. First-time visitors should expect a compact counter shop rather than a supermarket, open from 09:00 to 20:00 Monday to Saturday and from 09:00 to 13:00 on Sunday. A rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 89 reviews reflects strong local approval, and the single photo on the listing shows the premises.
Island cooking is built around fresh seafood, local cheeses and volcanic-soil wines, so a stop here fits naturally into a day in Horta. Capelo, Praia do Norte, Cedros, Caldeira and Feteira lie within the same part of the island.
The islands were settled by the Portuguese from the fifteenth century and became stopping points on Atlantic shipping routes. Ferries link islands within the same group, and Porto Santo is reached by ferry or short flight from Madeira. Carnival, religious processions and bull-running on a rope are part of the island calendar.
