São Miguel: Europe’s Best Kept Secret (7 Days in the Azores)

[@neoarmour]

The cows are chained then moved to other locations to graze. They actually treat their cows extremely humanely. There's a reason they call them the "happiest cows on Earth". Most cows are free roaming there

[@paulasalomons2472]

Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@earthwitheva]

Thank you for the support, Paula!

[@Screlon]

They treat the cows incredibly well there, one of the most humane on earth. They are not chained for long, they are usually allowed to graze and roam in large plots of land.

I was brown here! Came to Canada at 4 years old

[@earthwitheva]

So, do you still go back sometimes? :)

[@uzico]

Azoren sind schon schön :)

Absolut! :) Warst du schon dort oder planst du eine Reise?

@@earthwitheva let me know if you want company while traveling in the Polish mountains 😄 I love the Polish mountains, even if you lack strength, it is worth climbing a high peak! To see view 😍

[@earthwitheva]

@@ciekawostki9819 Thank you! I might take you up on that offer. ☺️

I’m heading to the Azores in a couple of months. Watching your clip I heard of an app that would be helpful….. Can I find it, no. Sorry, are you able to help a girl out as I struggle with WiFi/technology when abroad always!!!! Many thanks in advance 😊👍🏽

[@earthwitheva]

Hey Sonia! It‘s called MAPS.ME. :)

[@SoniaMilne]

@earthwitheva oooh you’re a legend!!! Thank you beautiful, you have no idea how much you’ve helped this girl out. Your vid looked amazing and I’m privileged to be experiencing the same, same soon. Travellers vibes 🤙🏽💕

The most beautiful island in Portugal, it is green all year round, and flowers all year round, this island is a paradise.

[@littleBIGGRiggs]

Incredible adventure Eva. I loved everything about it… beautifully filmed, narrated & edited. I wouldn’t change a thing. When I get a chance I’ll go back & watch some of your past adventures. Keep doing what you’re doing. Have an amazing day!

[@earthwitheva]

Thank you SO much, Riggs + Dad! :') This made my night.

[@anapimentel2855]

Thank you for visiting and liking my island. It really is wonderful. I hope you come back in the future. 🥰

[@earthwitheva]

Thank you for the support! São Miguel is beautiful! 🌞🌿 Do you live in Ponta Delgada? Any recommendations for my next visit? 😊

[@anapimentel2855]

@@earthwitheva I live in Ribeira Grande city. Next time you can visit: Miradouro de Santa Luzia, Miradouro de Santa Iria, Lagoa do Fogo, Caldeiras da Ribeira Grande, Cascata do Salto do Cabrito, Fábrica de Chá do Porto Formoso, Fábrica de Chá da Gorreana, Lagoa São Brás (very beautiful and peaceful), Praia da Viola, Praia dos Moinhos. You still have a lot to see and enjoy.

[@lizardslaw2661]

Beautiful. My parents were born and raised there in Furnas where the hotsprings are before it became a tourist destination . I remember visiting as a child in the 1970s and it was like travelling back in time. I recently returned to see family as an adult . So much busier and much more modern & commercialized but the beauty is the same. A hidden paradise

[@earthwitheva]

That must have felt surreal. I really enjoyed exploring Furnas. Do you speak Portuguese? :) Thank you for watching!

[@lizardslaw2661]

@@earthwitheva It was surreal and sad at same time. Yes I am fluent in the language.

[@MrAmhara]

Azores isn’t part of the European continent. It’s actually on the African tectonic plate.

[@earthwitheva]

Not quite - São Miguel is on the Eurasian plate, while the island of Flores is on the North American plate. The Azores are at the junction of the Eurasian, North American, and African plates. It’s a fascinating tectonic mix!

[@JuliaJacobss]

Was it easy to get a taxi or Uber? And was it expensive? :)

[@earthwitheva]

Hi! It was relatively easy except when we needed a pick up at Miradouro da Boca do Inferno, the taxi driver abandoned us - he said he would come and get us but never came. :‘) Luckily we found another cab company that could pick us up. ☺️

[@TheHikingHermit]

Looked a fabulous 7 days. Lucky you. You visited some fabulous places and narrated it very well. I kept thinking about the beer San Miguel 🤭The orange water was pretty unique and loved the waterfall. So much lovely nature on display. Thank you for sharing 👍

[@earthwitheva]

Thank you so much for the compliment! I might have to try that beer then. 😉 The waterfall was my favorite along with the dolphins!

[@lisalau2452]

May I what kind of buses take you on these trips? Private or public buses? Where can I get more information? Thank you!

[@earthwitheva]

@@lisalau2452 I think they are public buses. We got most of our information in the tourist office of Ponta Delgada. Here‘s a schedule: horarios.visitazores.de/SaoMiguel_Turismo.pdf :)

[@lisalau2452]

@@earthwitheva Thank you so much for the information. It's help me save some $$.

[@Eindrew9]

I am travelling there next week! Where did you book the kajaks for the lakes?

[@earthwitheva]

We rented them right at the shore at Sete Cidades (on the left side when crossing the bridge.). Hope the weather will be good to you! :)

[@ItStartsWithAStep]

Looks like a beautiful place to sail on the kayak :) the views of the valleys and flowers are gorgeous :) it looks like a great week that you spent away, the dolphins were so cute! The hot springs looked very cool! Great adventure x

Thank you, Kate!
