Possible confusion? The name "Caminho do Cais do Faial" might refer to:

  • A local footpath down to the Faial seafront/cais (quay) that's not part of the official PR trail network and therefore not in our database.
  • The village of Faial in Santana municipality — if you're after trails near Faial, the table above lists the closest official ones.
  • A different trail with a similar name that I'm not matching — could you double-check the exact name?

Would you like me to check the current trail status and mountain weather forecast for one of the Faial-area hikes listed above, or help you find a specific trail you may be thinking of?
