Fajã dos Vimes
With jagged cliffs, like most of the fajãs on São Jorge Island, the residents of Fajã dos Vimes have endured numerous misfortunes. The most serious of all occurred during the 1757 earthquake, which completely destroyed the fajã, which was later rebuilt. Tourists and nature lovers will be thrilled to see the fajã's traditional houses and experience this sometimes tragic harmony between man and nature.
