OK, so what is the Zona de Mysterio then ? No point putting it on the map and then leaving us hanging. Is they where Rey is from ?Eregli bob (talk) 06:44, 9 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

The "Mistério" is likely the Fajá region of Praia do Norte, and although it may have been a term used to identify it (mainly in Portuguese) it is not used today. Generally, "mistérios" are those areas with lava fields or volcanic structures caused during eruptions. There is a similar "Mistério de São João" and "Mistério de Prianha" on Pico, for example. Personally, I have had problems with this map since it does not comply with Wikipedia standards. But, until I can make a new one, its the best English map with localizations.

Westernmost Point

edit

"The Capelinhos Volcano is the westernmost point of the island and is considered the westernmost point of Europe other than the Monchique Islet."

This is misleading. It's two different definitions of the Westernmost Point of Europe. If we're talking tectonics, Monchique is not part of Europe. If we're talking political, Faial is not in contention (Flores is). 188.140.29.103 (talk) 22:41, 9 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
