Still in Capelinhos, we will visit the Natural Pools of Porto do Comprido. These pools were formed by basalt rocks, which resulted from the solidification of incandescent lava in the sea. We will pass by the whale village that once existed in this location but is now almost completely buried by volcanic sand and ash.
