What you'll see

This experience is ideal for tourists with cultural and historical interests. The indigenous people who lived here taught the Azorean settlers how to make canoes and the fishing of this strong and characteristic palate fish.

We will know two beaches linked by a small trail, visit the fishing ranches, experience the day-to-day of fishermen and watchmen, learn the characteristics of this artisanal fishing that goes through the centuries as a tradition and means of support for many local families. With luck we can observe and / or participate in the fishing of the sea.
