Graciosa, the second smallest island in the Azores archipelago, offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Known as the 'White Island' due to its landscape of whitewashed houses and windmills, this UNESCO Biosphere Reserve showcases Portugal's natural beauty at its finest. Visitors can explore the impressive Furna do Enxofre, a volcanic cave with a stunning underground lake, or relax on the pristine beaches of Praia and São Mateus. The charming main town of Santa Cruz de Graciosa features traditional architecture and the distinctive Santo Cristo Church. The island hosts the lively Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres festival each summer, where religious processions and cultural celebrations bring the community together. Graciosa serves as an excellent starting point for island-hopping adventures, with ferry connections to other Azorean islands including Terceira and São Jorge, allowing travellers to experience the diverse landscapes and cultures of this Atlantic paradise.
Faial Island, part of Portugal's Azores archipelago, is known as the 'Blue Island' due to the countless hydrangeas that bloom across its landscape in summer. This volcanic island offers stunning natural beauty with dramatic coastlines, lush green hills, and the impressive Capelinhos Volcano, where you can see the aftermath of the 1957-58 eruption that expanded the island. The main town of Horta is famous for its marina, where sailors from around the world stop during Atlantic crossings and leave colourful paintings on the harbour walls – a tradition believed to bring good luck. Visitors can enjoy whale watching tours, as the waters around the Azores are home to over 20 cetacean species. The island hosts the lively Semana do Mar (Sea Week) festival each August, featuring sailing competitions, music, and cultural events. From Horta, ferries connect to the neighbouring islands of Pico, São Jorge, and Terceira, making Faial an excellent base for exploring the central Azores.
