across the canal, at madalena, a huge sperm whale lies in the rocks, resting for many past miles in the atlantic and contemplating the horizon line intersected by faial, islanders and boats loaded with dreams of other times.
cella bar, winner of 2016 hospitality architecture award, combines the pico’s tradition on whale watching, long days in the sea capturing whales on small boats and the dark basalt landscape on an exquisite design bar/restaurant. nice flavors with some unusual twists of local food and contemporary tendencies and nice local wines. for sure, a place to visit when on the island.
