A small town that relies upon its wonderful landscape to entice tourists, Praia da Vitoria has gone relatively unnoticed among the exponential growth of Portugal’s coastal resorts. Challenging walking trails dominate much of the coastline, providing stunning views of the surrounding water and towering mountainside. If simply walking doesn’t wet the active appetite, rope adventures allow adrenaline junkies the chance to scale the rock formations and climb under the guidance of qualified instructors. To continue the thirst for adventure, many brave the water in a kayak or canoe, evoking an arduous workout, particularly in the summer amid a warm climate. The entire town may exude a vibe that only adheres to the active traveller, yet there is plenty of places that are perfect for whiling away a relaxing few hours. Praia dos Biscoitos is a haven drenched in looking spots and tranquil bays that seemingly act as a forcefield from the stresses of the modern day. Swim amidst the striking mountains before admiring the gorgeous scenery that encompasses Praia da Vitoria – for a sleepy day in the sole company of friends and family – the beautiful mountainside is ideal.
The pleasant weather and environment is made for a leisurely stroll, especially considering the laid back nature.
The Azores are the perfect place to escape from the modern world. Verdant parks, gorgeous beaches and picturesque views form the idyllic tranquil destination, exacerbated by the relatively difficult accessibility. The fact that ferry is the only viable way to enter Sao Roque means it has remained fairly untouched by the relentless demands of the tourism industry – even in the height of summer it remains quite calm. Simplistic architecture and unscathed walking trails are a refreshing change from the increase of modernisation, and many choose to wander around the rugged coastline to bask in the charming scenery and serenity. The accommodation is basic, but when you wake up to a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean, having a high range coffee machine suddenly pales in comparison. Sao Roque really is a nature lover’s paradise. Instead of scanning your itinerary for the next attraction, just grab a book and rejoice in the mecca of bliss.
You can hire a car at one of the rental companies, and there is a bus system that covers the main villages. Walking is also a popular option due to the agreeable aesthetics and temperature.
