São Jorge, one of the central islands in the Azores archipelago of Portugal, offers visitors a unique blend of dramatic landscapes and authentic Portuguese culture. This island is famous for its distinctive 'fajãs' - small plains formed by lava flows or landslides at the base of steep cliffs, creating perfect spots for agriculture and settlements. Adventure seekers will love the island's hiking trails, especially the network along the north coast that offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean. São Jorge is also known for its cheese production, with São Jorge cheese being a protected designation of origin product celebrated at the annual Cheese Festival in July. The island's main town, Velas, serves as the primary port, connecting São Jorge to other Azorean islands. Regular ferry services run to Faial, Pico, and Terceira, making it easy to explore more of the Azores. With its unspoiled natural beauty and authentic island life, São Jorge provides a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape more crowded tourist destinations.
Terceira, the third-largest island in Portugal's Azores archipelago, blends natural beauty, rich history and vibrant culture. The main city, Angra do Heroísmo, is a UNESCO World Heritage site with colourful Renaissance architecture and impressive 16th-century fortifications. Visitors can explore dramatic volcanic landscapes, including the stunning Algar do Carvão cave and the scenic Monte Brasil peninsula. The island is known for its traditional bullfighting festivals and the lively Sanjoaninas, celebrated each June with parades, music and cultural events. The Holy Spirit Festivals, held throughout summer across the island, showcase Azorean traditions with processions, decorations and community feasts. From Terceira's Praia da Vitória port, travellers can easily connect to other Azorean islands like São Miguel, Faial and Pico, making it an excellent base for exploring this unique Atlantic archipelago.
