Azores: Vila Franca Do Campo And Nossa Senhora da Paz

Aside8. November 201911. November 2019 hikeminded2 Comments

Vila Franca Do Campo is the oldest city on San Miguel and its former capital. It was founded by the first settlers in the 15th century. But after an earthquake in 1522 the city was destroyed and most of the inhabitants died. Ponte Delgada then became the capital of the Azores.

Hiking the Azores: Big Silence At Lagoa do Fogo

Aside7. November 201924. November 2019 hikeminded1 Comment

Unfortunately you can’t make a complete tour around Lagoa do Fogo. We tried to go back another way that we found on our map, but after the first 200 meters it became more and more unpassable so we turned around and walked back the same way we came from.

Hiking The Azores: Tour Around Lagoa Furnas

Aside5. November 201924. November 2019 hikeminded4 Comments

The hike around Lagoa das Furnas is rather a walk than a hike (maybe 7km, I didn’t keep trek)

Wonderfully arranged garden in the center of Furnas with a huge hot spring basin with naturally warm water. Bring your speedos!

Hiking The Azores: The Magical Landscapes Of Sete Ciudades

Aside2. November 201924. November 2019 hikeminded7 Comments

If it weren’t for the view – definitely the best view of the Azores – the hike itself would be rather dull. We climbed up the steep mountain from the center of the village of Sete Ciudades and made the tour around the craters on country roads (yes, there were even cars).

Hiking The Azores: Salto Do Prego And Sanguinho

This was probably the most beautiful hike of the Azores, but at least it’s in my top 3.

Azores: The Convento De São Francisco In Vila Franca do Campo

Aside31. October 201924. November 2019 hikeminded2 Comments

We had the pleasure to stay in this wonderful building for several nights and as it was low season we had it for our own most of the time. The owners carefully restored it and filled it with antiques.
What a feeling to walk through those honorable halls.
