Horta - Provisions & Laundry

Provisions:

There are some small grocery stores within easy walking distance of the marina on Faial, plus a branch of the Continente supermarket chain just a short walk out of the town. In addition, there are some excellent butchers and a small vegetable market at the northern end of the main street.

The municipal market is open 0700-1500 Monday to Friday, 0700-1300 Saturday. Locally grown fruit and vegetables, also fresh meat and eggs.

Hipermercado Modelo (Tel. 292 208150) is on the road to the hospital, about 15 minutes walk from the marina control and is open on Sunday mornings. For those that enjoy smaller places than the hypermarket, on the same block of the Municipal Market are two interesting options: Mercearia Silva on the SE corner and Casa Zeniteon the NW corner. Both close at 1 pm on Saturdays. Soares, by Porto Pim, has a good selection of wines, Tel. 292 392421.

Laundry:

A new laundry is planned in the North Marina, however, currently (May 2023) the original self-service laundry, toilets and showers by the marina bar, are still operational.

Horta has two full-service laundries. Wash and fold pick up/delivery. One is located at the end of the marina behind the fish dock area, the other is just round the corner from the Cafe Volga.
