São Miguel is the largest of the islands in the Azores archipelago. Volcanic in nature, the island has a temperate oceanic climate and much to discover.

 

The Sete Cidades Volcano gave rise to two lakes that live side by side, one blue and the other green. Located in the westernmost part of the island, this is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Portugal, and can be seen, in all its grandeur, from the Miradouro da Vista do Rei, named in honor of the presence of King D. Carlos and the Queen. D. Amélia, in 1901. Another point of interest is the Furnas area, with its fumaroles, but also hot and medicinal waters, sought after for treatments. It is recommended that you enjoy the different flavors of mineral waters, which spring naturally and are offered in numerous natural sources.
