Hiking
The name may be dubious and lead you to believe that there is actually a castle on the hill. Even though it doesn't exist - and the name originates from its vertical aspect that is reminiscent of a castle - the Hill is one of the key points on the island of Faial. The official trail does not lead to its summit, although adventure is possible.
