Travel Guide Figueira Da Horta

You may enjoy walking there. Figueira da Horta is a small village of 600 inhabitants, about 7 km north-east of Vila do Maio. Along the way, you will discover small dusty villages, which are welcome oases in the middle of vast rust-coloured screes. Passing through Figueira da Horta, you will have the opportunity to see the sugar cane farmers making the famous grogue, a local drink that cannot be ignored. Beware of the particularly high alcohol content of this beverage. If you really want to go on a walking tour, remember to bring water and a hat as there is hardly any shade on the way.
