SAO JORGE - the most spectacular fajãs in the AZORES

São Jorge is an island of cliffs, crags and fajãs, one of the greenest in the Azores archipelago and the perfect place for a holiday in contact with nature and the sea.

The island is 54km long and 6.9km at its widest point and is part of the Central Group and one of the apexes of the so-called "triangle islands", together with Faial and Pico, from which it is 18.5km away.

From a landscape point of view, the contrast of the central mountain range that runs almost the whole length of the island stands out, with its rugged, jagged coastline, dotted by the typical fajãs that extend into the sea. The fajãs are small plains originally created by lava or landslides and there are over 40 on São Jorge, which has earned it the nickname island of fajãs. In some cases there is only pedestrian access, so the trails are one of the best ways to discover it, using paths that are suitable for various physical conditions and specialist guidance.

[PL] São Jorge to jedno z najbardziej zielonych miejsc w archipelagu Azorów i idealne miejsce na wakacje w kontakcie z naturą i oceanem

Wyspa wyróżnia się nierówną, poszarpaną linią brzegową, usianą typowymi fajãs, które wcinają się w ocean. Fajãs to małe równiny pierwotnie utworzone przez lawę lub osuwiska, a na São Jorge jest ich ponad 40! W niektórych przypadkach dostęp do nich możliwy jest tylko dzięki szlakom pieszym.
