Aside from a pretty village and the multicoloured lakes, Sete Cidades also feature magnificent roads right on the ridges of the volcanic caldera. It’s as good as it sounds! A perfect riding destination.

Toosday in São Miguel
September 2, 2014
Posted on January 4, 2015azoressão miguelscootertravelvila franca do campoIf you want to visit three very different beaches plus a historic, yet active town all in one day, there are few islands that will serve you better than São Miguel. For starters, we wanted to check out the often mentioned Caloura beach on the south side of the island. It’s not far from Água de Pau, which we visited, and in some ways it’s hard to say where one ends and the other begins.

Wreck diving in São Miguel
September 1, 2014
Posted on December 26, 2014azoresdivingdorisão migueltravelwreckJust a few minutes from Ponta Delgada harbour lies a wreck of a ship that at one point participated in the D-Day invasion of 1944, and was later re-fitted as a cargo ship. It is known as the Dori wreck, and it’s one of the go-to locations for dive shops based in Ponta Delgada.

Furnas: some like it hot
