Sao Miguel Island
How to get here: We flew direct from the Boston airport with SATA airlines prior to heading into Lisbon. It worked out perfectly because we had a 14 hour layover-just enough time to see what we really wanted to before leaving.
Things to do: We chose to skip a tour and rent a car because we had an idea of a few places we wanted to see and needed to squeeze it in all in one day. I was a little hesitant to attempt to drive around the entire island on our own, but the rental supplied a gps and we managed just fine. The places of interest we chose to see were:
Downtown Ponta Delgada
Furnas Hot Springs
Nordeste
Lagoa das Sete Cidades
Ponta Do Castelo
If we had more time, we would have definitely done a tour to swim with the dolphins!
Places to eat: We just grabbed a quick bite here and there during our short stay on the island. I will say, though, that the ice cream stands downtown Ponta Delgada had the best ice cream I've ever had! We even had to go back for seconds during our layover on our way home from Lisbon to Boston.
