Itinerary

Day 1

Fly to São Miguel and make yourself at home


Your Azores adventures begin on São Miguel, with its tea plantations, hot springs and hissing fumaroles. Having picked up your car, it's a short drive to a gorgeous guesthouse on the edge of Ponta Delgada's cobbled center. The island's famous pineapples are piled high in the market and etched onto the pavements. Cafés spill out into the street, shops beckon you in and boats bob in the marina. It also has some fantastic restaurants and we'll share our favorites.
