The “Vila Franca” islet is a surtseyan tuff cone located at a distance of 600 m from the village shoreline and accessible by boat. Its circular crater is inundated by the ocean and the cone is partially affected by the marine erosion, with outer steeply slopes and cross-cutting cracks named “golas”.
