Capelinhos Volcano, Faial

Vulcão dos Capelinhos Volcano is a volcano of the Capelo system on the west coast of the Faial Island of the Azores Archipelago. This is the westernmost point of the whole of Europe. Since 1957, the volcano has been erupting non-stop for more than a year, which greatly influenced the history of the island. The Capelinhos Volcano Interpretation Center, located underground here, tells about these events. So the incredible landscapes of the black beach with volcanic sand are decorated with an abandoned lighthouse Ponta dos Capellinhos.
