Around the volcano

Around the Caldeira at Faial Island, Azores.
With the volcano's caldera on one side (photos above) and sea, volcanos and islands on the other (below), it is a perfect and easy hike at ~1000m altitude.

"The Blue Island", they call it, due to the flowers ("hortensias").

Series of volcanic cones. The last one, partly seen on the right, is from the 1957-58 eruptions (Vulcão dos Capelinhos) and formed new land.
