The Trilho Fajã Grande – Ponta Delgada (PR01 FLO) Hike in Azores, Portugal is a scenic 12.9 km hiking trail that starts at the port of Fajã Grande and takes you on a journey along the island's west side. But I recommend starting this trail from Ponta Delgada and heading towards Fajã Grande. This way, the route will have more downhill sections, making it much easier.
The trail offers breathtaking views of the coast, endemic species, and the opportunity to see the Maria Vaz Islet and the island of Corvo. However, be aware that the trail is can be closed indefinitely due to the risk of rocks falling along the cliff. So, it's best to check for updates before planning your hike!

Follow the route in Wikiloc to avoid getting lost.
On the day you plan to do this hike, I strongly recommend arranging your transfer in advance to complete the hike one way. You can find the list of official taxi drivers on Flores at this link, and the public transportation schedule at this link.
