SURROUNDINGS:

Espalamaca is one of the most panoramic lookout points in the city of Horta, from where you can clearly see the Azores islands of Pico and São Jorge. Another good lookout point is that of Monte da Guia, considered especially protected due to its natural values and its views upon the beach of Porto Prim. The city lacks outstanding monuments, although an easy stroll invites studying the ornamental details of the cathedral, the curches of the Jesuits and São Francisco, as well as Nossa Senhora do Carmo. But what is really interesting about Horta is its marina, an indispensable landmark for sailboats crossing the Atlantic ocean and finding in its berths the breath of solid ground after a storm. The legend forces sailors to paint upon the jetties with the graphite of their adventure as an amulet of good luck for their next journey.
