São Miguel, the largest island in Portugal's Azores archipelago, offers a stunning mix of volcanic landscapes, lush greenery, and vibrant culture. Known as 'The Green Island' for its verdant hills and valleys, São Miguel features natural wonders like the twin lakes of Sete Cidades, where blue and green waters sit side by side in a volcanic crater. Visitors can explore the Terra Nostra Garden with its thermal pool, or see geothermal activity at Furnas, where traditional cozido meals are cooked underground using natural heat. The island's capital, Ponta Delgada, charms with its black and white mosaic pavements, historic buildings, and busy marina. Throughout the year, São Miguel hosts many festivals, including the Festa do Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres in May, one of the largest religious celebrations in the Azores. Ferries connect São Miguel to other Azores islands, making it a great starting point for exploring this unique Atlantic archipelago. With its mild climate and diverse attractions, São Miguel provides an unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.
Faial Island, part of Portugal's beautiful Azores archipelago, blends natural beauty with rich maritime heritage. Known as the 'Blue Island' because of the hydrangea flowers that bloom in summer, this volcanic island features amazing landscapes including the Capelinhos Volcano and the Caldeira, a huge crater at the island's center. The main port of Horta is famous among sailors for its marina decorated with thousands of paintings left by visiting crews - a tradition said to bring good luck. Visitors can enjoy whale watching, diving, and hiking trails with stunning ocean views. Every August, the island celebrates the Week of the Sea festival with sailing competitions, music, and local food. Ferries connect Faial to nearby islands like Pico (just 30 minutes away) and São Jorge, making it a perfect base for exploring the central Azores.
