About this list
These 51 points come from a curated highlights map of São Jorge. Several of the fajãs are reached only on foot or by a winding access road, and a few (Fajã da Caldeira do Santo Cristo) are proper hikes rather than quick stops. Seven points supplied on the original map had coordinates belonging to Madeira, São Miguel, or Pico rather than São Jorge, and have been left out.
