The journey is taken slowly, on foot or by donkey, with legs turned towards the cliff, like the Amazons. As soon as Aníbal Raposo reaches Fajã da Rocha da Relva, he opens the door of his house and blows into a búzio. The sound echoes across the slope, announcing his return.
A retired engineer, poet, musician, and singer-songwriter, Aníbal knows the fajã like few others. He plants vineyards and orchards for future generations, living in harmony with the rhythm of the land and sea, keeping alive the traditions of a place where every gesture holds ancient meaning.
At Octant Ponta Delgada, this same respect for the island is felt – for its nature, culture, and the stories of those, like Aníbal, who teach that living in a place means understanding and celebrating it every day.
