We traveled through the entire archipelago of the Azores for 2 months, getting to know its 9 islands, and still it was not enough. We tried to soak up as much as possible of the culture and beauty of each island, we understood how different they are from each other and the idiosyncrasies that make it seem more and more absurd to speak of “the Azores” as one and the same, especially when we were there. They are different loves and together they form a paradise that deserves to be unveiled slowly, without haste and with respect, and if possible from east to west, leaving, in our opinion, the best for last.
In this guide we try to summarize everything to see in each of the nine Azorean islands, with practical recommendations for those who are organizing the trip before arriving (from things to do, accommodations and even restaurants) and useful tips for those who are already setting foot on this paradise in the middle of the Atlantic.

Faial is known as the blue island of the Azores, especially for the hydrangeas that adorn the roads in summer, and for being one of the most international islands: in the marina of Horta, its capital, sailors from all over the world converge. It is also the island where the youngest land of the whole country is found, fruit of the eruption of the Capelinhos volcano, and holder of one of the most impressive landscapes of the archipelago, its Caldeira. For this alone it is worth a visit, but Faial hides much more. In this guide we try to reflect all that Faial has to offer with practical suggestions, itineraries from 2 to 5 days, where to sleep and even where to eat so that your trip to Faial is as incredible as ours was.

São Jorge is an island that concentrates an imposing natural beauty in its narrow, elongated and mountainous silhouette, which looks like a dragon. It hides some of the most beautiful trails in the archipelago, incredible natural pools and is highly addictive for cheese lovers. And yet, the best of São Jorge is impossible to convey in pictures or words. In this guide, we try to reflect all that São Jorge has to offer with practical suggestions, itineraries from 2 to 7 days, where to sleep, and even where to eat so that your trip to the dragon island is as incredible as ours was.

In this travel guide, we try to reflect all that Santa Maria has to offer with practical suggestions, itineraries from 2 to 5 days, where to sleep, and even where to eat so that your trip around the island is as incredible as ours has been.

In this guide we try to reflect all that Pico has to offer with practical proposals, itineraries from 2 to 7 days, where to sleep and even where to eat so that your trip around the island is as incredible as ours has been.

In this guide, we tell you everything you can (and should) do in Ponta Delgada, where to sleep, and, of course, the restaurants we liked the most to make your trip as amazing as ours was.

Graciosa, in the Azores, small but valuable, concentrates such a natural heritage that it won, in 2007, the classification of Biosphere Reserve by Unesco. One of the jewels that contributed to this was due to having the largest volcanic dome in Europe, the “Furna do Enxofre”. In this guide we try to reflect all that Graciosa has to offer with practical proposals, itineraries of 1, 2 or 3 days, where to stay and even where to eat so that your trip around the island is as incredible as ours has been.
