Faial, Blue, Cosmopolitan Island
Faial, blue, cosmopolitan island ABOUT Photo: Publiçor Faial, blue, cosmopolitan island Faial is located in the central group of the Azores archipelago, and is part of the so called "triangle islands", together with São Jorge and the neighbouring Island of Pico, separated by the Faial Channel, a narrow sea inlet about 8 km wide. The Island covers an area of about 172km2, and is 21km long, with a maximum width of 14km. It was discovered in 1427 and colonised in 1432 by a number of Flemish settlers. It was given the name Faial because there are many beech trees here (faias), but no other island can boast such a huge mass of hydrangeas in different shades of blue, which frame the houses, separate the fields and border the roads, justifying the nickname Blue Island. Faial underwent considerable development from the 17th century on, making it an important trading post due to its geographical position as a safe haven between Europe and the Americas. More recently it was the communications hub between the continents and today is a mandatory point of reference for international yachting. The highest point is Cabeço Gordo, in the centre of the island, at 1,043m above sea level. It is a magnificent natural viewpoint which in fine weather enables you to see all the islands of the triangle and as far as Graciosa. Close by lies a huge crater called Caldeira, about 2km in diameter and 400m deep. It is surrounded by blue hydrangeas and lush vegetation, amongst which cedars, junipers, beeches, ferns and mosses stand out, and some of which are important examples of the original vegetation of the island.

Great Whales of the Azores (Pico)
Great Whales of the Azores (Pico) Naturetrek Tour Report 7 - 15 May 2016 Risso’s Dolphin Blue Whale and splashguard Two Sperm Whales Cory’s Shearwater Report and cover images by Ed Drewitt Naturetrek Mingledown Barn Wolf's Lane Chawton Alton Hampshire GU34 3HJ UK T: +44 (0)1962 733051 E: [email protected] W: www.naturetrek.co.uk Tour Report Great Whales of the Azores (Pico) Tour participants: Ed Drewitt (leader) with a group of Naturetrek clients Summary Pico, in the Azores, is the prime place for whale migration in the spring and on this nine-day tour we were certainly rewarded. Three Fin Whales and two Blue Whales, our second largest and largest mammals on Earth respectively, were seen within 20 metres of our boat while six, largely resident, Sperm Whales showed well on another day. The supporting cast didn't disappoint, and on one morning we enjoyed getting close to, and watching the behaviour of, a school of Bottlenose Dolphins, tussling Risso's Dolphins, and porpoising Short- beaked Common Dolphins shooting out of the water at vast speeds and energy. We saw 13 Loggerhead Turtles of varying ages, many Portuguese Man 'O' War, Salps (tunicates) and flocks of up over 400 Cory's Shearwaters, with many on one day diving to feed on krill. Poor weather at the start of the tour allowed us to enjoy our two scheduled land days, one spanning the island looking at the vineyards that form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, visiting the whale watcher or vigia, and heading into the hills to visit a lava tube.
