Faial is one of the most cosmopolitan islands of the Azores, known internationally for its marina and the volcano of Capelinhos. Is the island where the landscape seems to embrace those who arrive and never leaves them. The green always present, the blue hydrangeas, white and black of the houses, the mountains that rise up to touch the clouds.  
The volcano Capelinhos erupted on September 27, 1957. The volcanic ash covered homes and fields, changed the landscape and the living conditions of the people of Faial, forcing them to emigrate.
