Fajã de large dimensions, but with a smaller population, this site offers visitors a haven of peace and tranquility, where water from draining down the hills mark a strong presence. In addition to the nearly fifty houses, you can find the Hermitage of our Lady of Fatima and the fountain which stands next to this. Be sure to notice the interesting lava formations.

The sunny, picturesque Vila de Velas, peopled in the late 15th century, is an obligatory passing point during the visit to the "Fajãs Island". The church of Saint Jorge, the mother church and the church of Our Lady of Conceição are well worth a visit. The Town Hall, the Portão do Mar (Sea's Gate) and the Museum of Religious Art are also imposing.

At this location we found several ethnographic parts exposed, with emphasis on artifacts connected with the flax and the farm.
