Many different forms of lava can be discovered here. In some places the sea has created gaps through which the sea water is blown onto the hiking trail when the waves are high. Very impressive section, which we unfortunately couldn't finish because of the upcoming ferry trip to Faial.

The route runs the other way around, so at the end it goes along the sea.
