São Miguel Island, the Azores

São Miguel Island is the largest island in the Azores and the most populated, with almost 137,000 inhabitants. 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 comes as no surprise that São Miguel is the most visited of the Azores islands, soon followed in popularity by lovely Terceira Island. 

Even though the Azores have never actually recognized Ponta Delgada city in São Miguel Island as its official capital, Ponta Delgada is indeed the economical hub of all of the Azores’ islands. Ponta Delgada is special and unique, with old world architecture and other amazing features that evoke all the charms of Europe, like cobbled streets, sidewalk cafes, and a thriving culinary scene. 

Visitors to São Miguel can also look forward to getting a glimpse at some of the Azores’ most iconic viewpoints and famed crater lakes, including the popular tourist destinations of Sete Cidades, Lagoa do Fogo, and Furnas Lake located in the iconic village of Furnas. São Miguel is also a geothermal hot spot, giving you something else to look forward to experiencing, especially on your visit to Furnas Valley. Also among the exciting things you can expect to find on this idyllic island? Warm water to swim year-round, particularly in one of the natural spas and hot springs found inland, or tucked along the island’s stunning, volcanic rocky coast.
