Were these tips useful? Let me know if I have forgotten anything important!
I really liked your video and the subjects you went in to. All those travel influencers with their beautiful shots don't actually tell and explain things. Loved the way you did it, thanks!
Thank you very much!
Same my gf and I consider going this summer, and this is the first video thet gives real information not just staged photos and product placement for bar and restaurants.
@@CitizenSnips314 Thanks!!!
@jorgevalentin Thank you for your comment and support! For some reason, your comment disappeared. But you are definitely right, whale watching is definitely an important thing in the Azores!
Went for 7 days in January, did not rain for a single moment. I was lucky!! 17-19C by day. 14-16C by night.
Lucky!
The local products in here indeed very good. It's hard for me to buy something that not made around here. Most of us very traditional but open minded to try other products from around world. It's been a good journey for me around wine in Pico for example. Was not expecting it and it's been really cool. Let's see what's next 😄.
Thank you and see you soon.
What island would you recommend if you are only there for 7-9 days ? what islands ? should we go for 1-2 islands ? or what you recommend ? July ish are we doing love water and natur :) is our 30ish :) I do some diving too.
In that amount of time I would say, stick to Sao Miguel.
@@Seedsofdiscovery What about diving do you know if there is any good diving center ? where on Sao miguel would you recommend living ? for 8 days ? Is it soo long just to stay there for all days ? quite a long way to jump to a new island. Thankts for fast reply!
@@devel-rh6hy Unfortunately, I am not into diving so Ive never really checked for good spots. Ponta Delgada is nice otherwise Ribeira Grande and maybe Furnas are good to book smth. If you want to do a quick jump for a day or two, Santa Maria is next by.
I am interested in digital nomading on a visit to the Azores but how can I find an alternative to expensive AirBnB?
Portugal as a whole has become quite expensive. Usually during winter months it is cheaper. Otherwise, reaching out to local agencies could be an option. There is a price for locals which is quite cheaper than for foreigners
Do you have a local agency that you recommend? We would like to stay in guesthouses for our stay in the summer !
@@lismail14 Unfortunately I don't! But good luck and let us know if you find a good one!
