Love those old churches, no overcrowded, with the spirit of the past. The most of all I love the WATER, the OCEAN, . Want to live directly to the WATER🐬🐋🐳🐟🦭🌊🌊🌊

I really liked Santa Maria. The small aldeias like Santa Barbara are beautiful.

Gracias por ese video tan bueno y tan cristiano // Si tengo que volver a nacer en este infernal mundo, me gustaría nacer en esta isla // al menos para poder ir a rezar el rosario a esa pequeña capilla de mi querida Virgen de Fátima, que por supuesto, creo que ya no podré ir a hacerlo en esta vida.

[@teddysmith1952]

Thank you very much for the well done video tour. I've always been fascinated with remote islands, inhabited or not. Santa Maria is beautiful.

[@MALBUSCAPRODUCTIONS]

[@Luis.family.]

Awesome video George! Fyi the abandon porto you were at in Maia was a whale importing dock, as everyone can see we don't do that anymore for ages now✌️

[@ruireis1114]

My name is Rui Reis and I loved all the videos, especially the Graciosa ones. My family comes from Graciosa and I visit every 3 years. I am planing to visit all 9 islands in the near future. Thanks for the videos.

[@georgemanwalking5494]

Hello Rui, Thanks. I recorded these videos more for family and friends, but I'm happy you enjoyed them. I loved the Azores, all the islands have their own character and I will return, but as you know it is difficult travelling at this time. My advice on visiting all the islands would be to go with an open schedule because the weather tends to interfere with logistics as you probably know. Graciosa was a cool sleepy little island. Good luck and safe travels.

I spent a day here in '68 before catching a flight down to Funchal Maderia on the once weekly Boeing 727 TAP flight . It seems apparent that for many years the island was the center of commerce of all the islands because the main commercial airport was here but now that has been passed by by San Migel and Tercera .

[@marialourdess]

Linda, ilha do sol, obrigada, thank you!

[@Esther-sy9ve]

It seems there are no human on the island ? How many people do live there ? I`m dreaming of Azores , is it possible to settle down there ?

[@tomaud]

Those large trees must be cryptomeria.

[@AJGAMES217]

My family is from here my avo aka my grandmother says some day she is gonna take me there and here’s a fact it’s really really poor there

[@dncviorel]

Is the weather better than on the other islands?

[@butwhy4776]

[@colinkey7094]

[@Esther-sy9ve]
