@diogojcorreia Год назад

Lovely! As a local, I felt really proud that you enjoyed staying here. One thing I wanna point is places order, it's an island and you get relatively fast wherever you want to go, but it's more convenient to visit someparts in some days (for eg visiting the north in some days and the rest of days south) than going around from one tip to another. I'm pointing out this, because alot of people will come to the island with the ilusion that everything is like 10min away. Don't do it on the order of the video especially if you don't get a rental car for yourself. Also don't expect to have Dubai weather every day around here, the weather can be a b%tch and change alot ahah, be prepared :P Cheers!

@draganveselinovic5891 Год назад

I was thinking about buying a mountain bike, and using that as a form of travel while on the Azores Islands. As a local, do you have any thoughts on this? Is there a place to buy second-hand bikes?

My husband and I get in our car rental and travel the whole island . We never have a set place to go we just say let’s go this way today. We have visited many of the places you have shown here. The cosido is delicious! I will be setting up some of the tours on the app “get your guide” I just downloaded it , like the jeep tour and whale watching it’s definitely something my husband and I wanted to try. I love traveling to São Miguel. Mosteiros is where I always stay. They have a wonder natural pool ( Poço da Pedra ) that is so beautiful, and our family is there.

@diogobeltrao5008 2 года назад

Awesome video! That was almost the perfect way to visit S. Miguel, think you just miss 4 things: Lagoa do congro and the hike is also nice; Mosteiros Beach - you get huge shots from the black sand beach to the green/dark stone imponent hill, its exceptional when a little foggy; without a doubt Galego restaurant has the best and classic beef in açores; and Saca rolhas restaurant also a place to go but little expensive.

@aronlucaskristiansson Год назад

Well done, Matt. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your trip on this grey, rainy, summer's morning in Glasgow. This is such an addictive travelogue, rich with beautiful shots and drone footage. You did a variety of trips here (beach, history, action/adventure) and covered lodgings and food, too. You've captured all the 'minutiae' of the destination in your video which gives such a powerful sense of place, and true feeling of escapism, when watching your video from afar. I have watched quite a few travel videos on RU-vid but your work is by far the best! Looking forward to more of your content. Best wishes, Aron.

There are direct flights from London to the Azores. if fact British Airways has a flight that goes to the second largest of Terceira . Ryan air I believe flies directly to the Azores. The Azores about 20-years ago was ignored or not many people bothered to see it's stunning beauty. My girlfriend and extended our stay from 5-days to four weeks. Beautiful beyond words.

Hey Matt, very nice video and indeed you have visited a lot and tried the best foods we have over there. You will need to go back to explore the other islands for sure, but just to let you know, there is direct flights so you dont need to stop in Lisbon or Porto. They are only from Stansted though, with Ryanair and only or Saturdays (summer time they might add routes on Tuesdays as well). Keep up with the good videos :)
