Semana do Mar – More than 2000 boats are stopping in Horta each year while crossing the ocean from west to east. Horta high season brings cosmopolitan spirit, explorer’s curiosity, sailor’s dreams, a thriving marina life and countless sundowners in bars and beaches.

Traditional summer highlight is the 8 day festival Semana do Mar, featuring food specialties, live music, maritime festivities, regattas, entertainment activities for kids and DJ acts for the night crowd.
