오르타 항구 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

It's a short walk up the main road or a very steep path. But the view is worth it to see how beautiful a volcanic, round bay can be.

As for the reasons for the paintings, well, you can find various versions online. So, believe what you will. ;)

If you want to add an artistic dimension to your visit in addition to the culinary dimension, we recommend a visit to the "Peter's Scrimshaw Museum" on the upper floor of the bar. Definition: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrimshaw

Small garden square in the center of Horta. It formerly housed a convent and church, abandoned many years ago. It is an example of romanticist architecture and is home to species such as araucaria and pine trees, as well as a small lake.

Museum opened in 2023, in the same building where there was already a library. The small museum tells the story of some Azorean personalities and their influence on the island. Apparently there is no permanent exhibition, but temporary exhibitions.

You can also drive here to the church by car. However, it is cooler to hike up.
