Few sailors pass Horta without making their way to the blue fronted Cafe Sport overlooking the harbour. Its fame is due to the Azevedo family who has been welcoming sailors to Horta’s shores for more than 80 years.

Mail can be sent to Cafe Sport and collected on arrival in Horta. Over the last few decades, the bar has received so much mail that, in 2004, it was awarded a Golden Post Office honor by the Portuguese postal service, which also released a special set of stamps to celebrate Peter Café Sport’s 100th anniversary in 2018.

Café Sport has opened a new space up the street, where the pilot station used to be. It is called Base Peter Zee and, besides selling whale watching trips, has two computers and plans to operate a cyberspace there to be equipped according to demand.

Opening hours:

• Monday to Saturday:  09:00 – 24:00
