  • Portugal is one of the best countries to visit and the Azores are no exception - beautiful, adventurous and filled with rich culture. It's quite different from mainland Portugal so here are some things you might want to know before you go and a few experiences I had during my two-week stay!

    Nice little video. I live part time in São Jorge and part time in Southern California.
    Yes the first time I saw the Bull Run I was amazed as well. Especially since my only reference before that was from when I lived in Spain and witnessed not only the running of the bulls but also bull fights.
    The people in São Jorge are extremely nice as well and things are very affordable.

    • @NatashaBergen

      That’s amazing! Super cool to have those two options! I remember think Sao Jorge had a Jurassic park type of vibe with its nature, but you’d know better! :)

    The "Touradas" bull thing i mostly a Terceira thing, is a touchy subject even between islands. Not long ago, someone representing (goverment) the cultural departement, before going to the goverment, made some remarks against them, and to help the case, he was from São Miguel... That didnt help (people from the Azores knows what i am talking about) and it wasnt well recieved in Terceira... For example, the bulls are in the Azores chrest of arms and were even part in a battle in Terceira against invadors. Like i said, a cultural and touchy subject.
    You should visit Pico and São Miguel (the biggest islands in the Azores). Lovely video.

    As a Portuguese myself, I hate that we still have traditions with the bulls, in recent years there has been a lot of discussions about the bulls tradition, same people (like me) are against it but there's still a lot of people that defend it (mostly older men). It's sad!

      Glad you like the video! 🤩 The half sleeve tattoo was done by an artist called Nini who lived in Hanoi, Vietnam. When I was living there I got some work done by her 😊 She’s very talented but I know she’s since closed her shop and opened a new one somewhere in Australia 😃

      Hey George! It’s definitely a pack for all weather kind of place. I was there during what’s supposed to be the best weather in July and I experienced everything except for snow. Be ready for wind, rain, sunshine and depending when you go, and if you climb Mount Pico, very low temperatures.
