About the Destination:
Graciosa Island
This small island is serene enough to live up to its name, which translates as “Gracious” in English. Graciosa Island is home to over 4,000 inhabitants, all of whom are proud to live in such a peaceful and idyllic retreat. The famous and delicate queijadas da Graciosa, one of the Azores’ most beloved and preferred sweets, are originally from here. This Azores Island also has two spectacular ancient lava tubes to explore: Furna da Maria Encantada and the major landmark of Furna do Enxofre.
São Miguel Island
São Miguel Island is the largest island in the Azores, and the most populated, with almost 137,000 inhabitants (2011 data). As soon as you finally escape for your Azores getaway and visit São Miguel Island, you’ll immediately discover why this Azores Island is nicknamed ‘’The Green Island of the Azores.’’ São Miguel’s lush landscapes and rolling, verdant hillsides inspire and awe everyone who experiences them, which makes it come as no surprise that São Miguel is the most visited of the Azores Islands, soon followed in popularity by lovely Terceira Island.
