9 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Faial Island That You Shouldn't Miss
Faial Island (Portuguese pronunciation: [fɐˈjaɫ]), also known in English as Fayal, is a Portuguese island of the Central Group (Portuguese: Grupo Central) of the Azores. The Capelinhos Volcano, the westernmost point of the island, might as well be the westernmost point of Europe, if the Monchique Islet, near Flores Island, is considered part of North America, for it sits on the North American Plate.

This is an amazing cafe and museum to visit. The cafe holds a welcome for any visitors and has its own unique and interesting decor.

Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 22 reviews
The Dabney's House, recovered by the Azores Regional Government, portrays the history and the passage of the Dabney family in Faial, who left a cultural, historical and scientific heritage, still visible and recognized on the island. The Dabney family settled in Faial in 1806, when John Bass Dabney was appointed US Consul General in the Azores. Three members of the Dabney family (John, Charles and Samuel) successively engaged this position over a century. In 1854, Charles William Dabney bought a summer house built in Monte da Guia, included in a residential complex consisting of a house with cistern, pier and shelter for two boats, a viewpoint, a small area of vineyards stretching up the slope toward the bay of Porto Pim and a winery, where is currently the exhibition about their experiences on the island.
