Chá Gorreana & ‎⁨‎⁨Miradouro do Cintrão
August 14, 2022 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Chá Gorreana is a tea plantation and it was established in 1883. Because the Azores are basically made out of volcanic lava it has a very rich soil and therfor is a good place to grow and harvest Tea. We took a tour and of course tried all the different teas.

We also visited the Miradouro do Cintrão with a beautiful view over the cliffs and the ocean.Read more

Day 2
Ponta do Cintrao
April 23, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ 🌧 18 °C
This was on the North Coast directly opposite Ponta Delgada where we are staying, which is the largest city in the Azores, has the international airport and has 50% of the islands' 240,000 "persons" population Manuel told us. This point has a small building from where you can watch whales. Whaling was done by individual harpoon as late as 1984 and lit homes before kerosene and fed many farm animals. Previously the occupations were primarily fishing and farming. Tourism is on the climb up and to some degree is outstripping the resources on the island. Garbage is shipped off and Manuel says June/July/August are to be avoided as there are not enough restaurants etc. AirBnB's are taking accommodation off the local market and the government has now put a stop to any further expansion.Read more

Day 7
Sete cidades
May 16, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Started out on a tour , covering the west half to São Miguel, first stop was Ribeira Grande town , then we visited a whale watching post before heading to the Salto do Cabrito waterfall and on to Lake Fogo. The lake is in a volcano crater and we got there just as the clouds started to roll over the top.

We then headed to Salto do Cabrito for lunch I had horse mackerel as I'd never heard of it, I was expecting something like a mackerel fillet but it was more like a very strong whitebait, very bony and very strong, mind you the house red was really tasty.

After lunch we headed on towards Sete Cidades which is another lake in another volcano, although this has two lakes joined together, one is deep green and even though the two are linked together the other is blue! There's also an abandoned hotel that has become a tourist attraction in it own way. Finally we headed to Mosteiros before going back to pont delgada.Read more
