Excellent video. Love Sao Miguel. The Azores are one of my favourite destinations in the world. The natural beauty is unmatched in any other part of the world IMO. Plan to retire there!
Hi Maria. And when do you plan to go on retirement? Because me too...
@@bobschultz5651 likely next year.
I need to figure out how to move my daughter and I to one of the islands!!! I want to wake up to these views, this beauty EVERYDAY.
I am going to fulfill a life long dream, and visit The Azores, Sao Miguel, in July of 2024. I will spend a month there, traveling between the Islands...I LOVE this video! Thank you for sharing your travels! I am so excited...
Thank you, Linda! I'm glad you've enjoyed the video. Enjoy the islands and best of luck!

Great video. Amazing shots, incredible editing. Keep up the great work. I am really excited to see the next destinations.
Unreal content! Everything I told my buddy Stelios you may know; things you could've improved on from the last video - AND YOU NAILED. This channel is going places.
So far one of the best videos about the Azores.
Thank you very much! Im glad you enjoyed the video!
What a great video!
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Wow
Great video! Thanks man!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. It is perfect!!
Thank you for watching!
Yes, I agree. This is one of the best overviews of Sao Miguel that I have seen too. It looks like pretty much you had the place to yourself. How lucky!
Thank you very much! Glad you've enjoyed the video! And yes at times it seemed that way!
Great video. I was there years ago, but would love to go back to see all the islands
Thank you very much!
I just came back from the Azores and I loved the place, but don't tell anyone. Your videos do the place fully justice. Bravo for quality content!
Thank you!
Amazing!👏👏👏
Brilliant work! ☺️
Beautiful
Incredible beauty!!!
Love your videos from the Azores, so well put together and fantastic quality.
Thank you!
Well done!
Great video ! Keep up with the good job
We again truly enjoyed your video's again nothing like the amazing beauty that surrounds us . At every corner their is a new view & new place to explore.
We plan to visit 4/2/2022 Ponta Delgada, Portugal . Thank you we have learned much & you are a great host.
Thank you!
I just saw all 3 videos... what an amazing job you did. Congrats
Thank you very much! I appreciate it and glad you've enjoyed it!
Amazing overview! Thank you so much. ❤️
Thank you!
Really cool video and awesome footage! The part about the Monte Palace hotel ruins is not really true though, it's not heavily guarded (at least for over a decade now) and at every occasion I was there since 2021 it was a very well visited tourist spot. There were at least 20 other people with me in the building or on the roof, even mothers with little children 😊
Thank you for watching! Interesting, when I was there there was a security car advising people not to go in. Maybe it has changed now.
I have been. I have seen. I recommend! Absolutely!
Thank you!
Fantásticas cidades!!!!obrigado!!
Obrigado!
I will be in Saõ Miguel for my 2nd time in two weeks ❤ can't wait.. O Portugal è realmente o país mais bonito da Europa
Enjoy it!
Looks like paradise after the apocalypse, i counted a total of 5 tiny humans in the landscape. Hahaha. Thanks for the beautiful show.
Thank you! Glad you've enjoyed the video.
I have to thank you for the most amazing and revealing videos of a part of my beautiful country, Portugal , that I had never seen. There are no words to describe some of the beauty you experienced in the Azores but rest assured your message has been engraved in my soul... my wife is a natural of São Miguel Island, and I am from the main land near Costa de Caparica, across from Lisbon , we will surely be visiting the Pearl of the Atlantic...a pérola do Atlantico...thanks 🥰
Thank you very much! Im very glad you enjoyed the video! This why i do it ❤️

I hope to visit the Azores at some point as that is where my grand parents were born and their parents were born.
You definitely should! It's a great place!
Thank you so much for the amazing views... going to visit Sao Miguel soon - mid November '21... excited!!!

my home!
Beautiful!
Great video about São Miguel.
But i have some things to add. Ponta Delgada comparing with big european cities, truly doesnt have much to do, and shouldnt be the reason why people want to visit the Azores or even more. But there is things that arent in the video, like cultural events in Ponta Delgada, from concerts, to pleys and Museums. Not to mention, before covid, there was plenty of cultural/religious events all year round.
The Hotel, was a project that was ahead of its time, in the time the Azores (the poorest region of Europe at the time) had no good infrastructure, the Azorean goverment was a recent creation and the Azores were plenty unknown, usually people who knew the Azores from abroad were Azoreans or Azorean descendents or a curious american or German who found the Azores on the map, that was mostly it. The Azores lived on its industries. Tourism is quite a recent thing thanks to the opening of the Airspace in 2015.
Not to mention, the owner of the Hotel, wanted to make São Miguel a cacino center in the Atlantic, he wanted to have a great Casino in there and bring tourists for that, but he never got the gamble licence (by irony now there is a Casino in the Azores). Combining that, with lack of infrastructure, no tourists and its failed plans, the Hotel closed doors. He was ahead of his time, i think if he opened that project today, he would have sucess.
Other fun fact, the Russian Tsar usually consumed Azorean pineapple. Other fun fact, the american who founded the Terra Nostra park, was the first consul in USA history in european soil, building up the unique relationship between the Azores and USA.
And there is so much hidden gems in the island, that most people dont know. But you actually went to Nordeste, a place which most people escapes. Still, great video. As a Azorean its amazing seeing that so many people visited us, which is the opposite of our history.
Loved the video and the format. And how you explained everything in context, you actually did your homework, most likely the best video of São Miguel out there.And yes, the weather can be a pain in the ass, but one of the many reasons why São Miguel is so green.
Cheers
Thank you very much for a great feedback! Im glad you enjoyed the video. Ans thank you for very interesting facts, I have learned something new! Cheers!
Everyone misses the Azores but won't move back here...Me & My husband were born in California and have moved to the Azores for peace of mind!
Beautiful place!
Beautiful video! I'm flying to Soa Miguel next week. Could you list the names of each of the locations in your discription wit time signatures. Your presentation is such a great guide!
Thank you! Added in the description now.
thats some crazy lanscapes, need a drone and a good camera when i visit.
Indeed!
✌
I guess the impressive museums in Ponta Delgada, shops, beaches and botanical gardens like other things were forgotten bcz, there's nothing to do in that big city, not a good thought... still great images.
Hi Bruno. Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately my time was limited and i tried to show the essential parts of the island, something unique for a visitor. But you are right there are shops and museums in PD.
Your content is amazing! Thanks for all the helpful tips. By the way, where did you rent your car for Sao Miguel?
Thank you for watching! Im glad you enjoyed it. I rented at the airports.
Amazing footage !!
May I ask you where are the landscape at 0:10 and 0:17 located? They are not located on São Miguel, right?
Thank you! Those are from Flores. They are in the 3rd episode of these series. Enjoy!
The pearl of the Atlantic famously known is Madeira island.
Madeira is definitely beautiful! Grazie!
Great video,love this place..where on the island is the waterfall located that is filmed 0,17seconds in to the video?
Hi Christer, thank you. Im glad you've enjoyed the video. The waterfall is from Flores island, you can check it out in part 3 of Azores series.
Absolutely beautiful! In what month were you in Sao Miguel?
Thank you! I was there in September
Thank you! I loved the scenery and your informations! We are going in December. What time of the year were you there?
Thank you! Im glad you've enjoyed the video. I was there in September. Enjoy your travels!
Great video. Did you use a drone for the wide shots? I am going to the Azores in two weeks. So excited!
Thank you very much. Yes, Mavic Air. Enjoy the Azores, great place!
hello, very nice video. one question: whats the name of the waterfall at 0:17 minute? is in the sao miguel island? thanks
Hi, thank you. The intro part includes clips from different islands of the Azores. Specifically to your question, the waterfall is located on the island of Flores (it's in the video on my channel, part 3 of Azores series). It can be seen from Miradouro Craveiro Lopes.
@@viti_ontour thanks, im going to são Miguel in october and I'm making the gps trip route. Thanks.
Enjoy!
In the opening scenes the 6th shot is actually Velas on Sao jorge Island
Opening is on Azores in general, as I went to a few islands 😉, it also has Flores. More episodes coming up 😊
@@viti_ontour Show us the interior of churches too !
Thanks for the tour. We just booked a week on São Miguel for next year.
You use a drone extensively. Are there any restrictions?
Thank you very much! Enjoy your travels!
Ribeira Grande, Ponta Delgada, etc… are cities and not towns like you’ve mentioned
Noted. 🙂
Does Uber and Bolt work well there? Sao Miguel? Obrigado
Hi, i dont think it's available.
They have taxis and tour guides here in the island
Merenkulkidoien.,, pelastus,,
👍
Impeccable images. Keep up the good work.
I take this opportunity to invite you to follow "Azores, What Else", both here on TH-cam,
as on Instagram and other social networks.
Best regards.
Thank you very much ♥️
Jee,, olen uinut siellä,, happamuus/emäksisyys, oli ok,,,, ja maan kuumuus,, muistan ne sammakot,, siellä, vähä, oliko pimeä kirkko,, lähellä,,
👍
Nice video, but, I cannot understand your negative comment about beaches. Are white sand beaches better than black? NO. Black helps you get tanned much quicker, only negative: it sticks more to your skin, but, after the beach, you take a bath whatever the sand color, right? And cannot swim? Your statement ends 5 seconds later, with images of a horrible unexistent beach fully of people in danger. What a silly statement, you should really review it.
I should add that, a great POSITIVE about our beaches in the Azores, compared to most popular beaches, we don't have to negotiate a place to occupy on the beach, there's always a spot for you.
Really a great video, thanks
Thank you!
Beautiful
