Boa noite,

Existe alguma loja local em São Miguel especializada em equipamento de corrida de estrada e trail?

Muito obrigado

I'm planning on doing a trip with 2 of my friends to the azores in the summer. Would it be easy to just hike around the islands and sleep in a tent?

Does anyone have a recommendations for spots to see the most abundant/beautiful displays of blooming flowers during the last week of march?

We’re planning a honeymoon in mid-late October to the Azores. Is this an ok time to visit? We love hiking and just being outside in general. We definitely want to go to spend a few days in Sao Miguel. We’re planning on our honeymoon being 7-10 days. What other islands are recommended for this time frame?

Market Place Rua do Peru 64

Hotel do Colégio, Rua Carvalho Araújo, 39

Hotel Marina Atlântico, Av. João Bosco Mota Amaral,1

Obrigado!

I‘ll be in Sao Miguel until the 12th of February. Will there be any event going on that might be worth visiting?

Thanks

Help me pleaseee! Anyone?

I was thinking of staying 4-6 nights here in the second week of march. What will the weather be like and would there be opportunities to swim?

I’m wondering about the long tour of this lava tube near PD. How long are the small areas? My daughter is a bit claustrophobic. We plan to book it but just want to be sure it won’t be overwhelming.

Hello all! My family will be visiting family for most of the month of July, typically this is soccer season in the US and was hoping there are programs my son could attend while we were there? I figured he’d just play with the local kids a make quick friends but looking for more. Obrigado!

We're going to be in Pico for a few days and looking forward to drinking some lovely wines. Apart from the large wineries, are there any hidden gems anyone could recommend? Any that didn't turn out so well also? Thanks in advance.

I'm traveling in June from the us to the azores. Had planned to arrive at 840am on a united flight then depart same day to Flores on SATA at 230pm from pdl. SATA flight got moved up to 1220pm.

That should be enough time to make it through customs and check in to SATA, right? As long as no major delays from Newark to pdl? Trying to figure out if we need to book a backup flight for the next day. Thanks!

Boa noite comunidade!

Preciso alugar um carro na Ilha Terceira. Alguém pode recomendar rent-a-cars que não exijam caução e tenham preços até 30€ por dia?

Obrigado a quem puder ajudar 🏆

Going to visit islands I am very familiar with in April. We also added Graciosa for a two days as we've never been. I've looked online as far as things to see and do. Anyone that lives there or has been have any pointers to add other that basic Google info? Greatly appreciated!

Greetings! We will be in Ponta Delgada May 22-29. I see that Senhor Santa Christo dos Milagres is going on while we are there. How crazy is it going to be? I'm hoping for a ton of street vendors and tasty snacks. Thanks!

Hello,

I work remotely, unfortunately because of bad political situation in my country we are planning to relocate somewhere.

Me, my wife and 2 year old son (and small doggo). We love the island and we love the lifestyle it can offer to us as an adults, but we have to take into consideration our son.

What do you think. Is it a good place for child to live, go to kindergarten, school and etc.

How is cost of living? and general vibe of the island and people? for family of 3.

Hello! I’m planning on traveling to Sao Miguel between April-May. Had a few questions as I’m making my itinerary.

1. What hostels would you recommend? Planning on staying in Ponta Delgada and then traveling to different parts of the island for day trips. Planning on renting a car so would like the hostel to have free available parking, and would also have preference toward hostels with bunks that have curtains!

2. If I wanted to do a day trip/couple day trip to another island which would you recommend? Not looking for the too touristy areas, mostly wanting to enjoy the hikes and views!

3. How much Portuguese should I know? I know none right now, and though I’ve traveled to other countries and gotten by with the bare basics of hello, hi, goodbye, and thanks, wondering if I’m going to need to know more than that.

4. Is parking easy when going hiking? Do people usually have to pay to park? And are the roads to the trail heads decent enough that I won’t have to worry about off roading to go hiking with a rental car?

5. Is TAP Air Portugal ok to fly? I imagine it’s just like any other budget airline but have heard things about people scamming people charging them for luggage. I’m planning on having a carry on and a personal item only.

I’m visiting at the end of March with my 2 and 4 year old.

We will do a whale watching trip for sure, but what other tours can people recommend with little ones?

Would love to hear about your experiences and what did (or didn’t!) work.

Thanks!

Hi, I’m planning to go to Azores and I found a very nice hotel in Lagoa. What is the easiest way to get to Ponta Delgada from Lagoa without having a car? Options for commuting between Lagoa and Ponta Delgada while being on holiday?

• are there any restaurants/bars/shops in Lagoa?

Not sure about which slot to book if I want to spend the night up.

In the Casa de Montanha stays this: – The overnight stay at the Pico Mountain crater, considering as such the climbs that begin between 16h00 and 24h00 of each day, in the period from 1 June to 30 September, which descent ends after 8h00 of the following day-

Should I then book the slot from 18 till 24? I also read that when you sleep up you are subject to the obligatory payment of a fee. Is a deposit for the GPS or what is it about?

Can I park in Casa da Montahna? Can I arrive there with a public bus?

I will be happy to read your experiences if some of you did the night up :)

There has been an announcement of a special event at the NB Whaling Museum for the release of a new manuscript on Pico History and a short film on Azorean Whaling History. Should be a very entertaining night featuring the author and film maker.

Hi All!

I have always wanted to go to the Azores and have some time off in March. Would that be an ok time to go do you think? I know weather is always a risk. Would you recommend just going to Sao Miguel or travelling around the islands a bit?

Olá, alguém por aqui já utilizou a plataforma? Qual a vossa experiência? Vale a pena?
