AZORES: : The lost village of Sao Miguel + drugs and the Azores HD 1080p
Вставка

- Hi! This is a story on the drug issue on Sao Miguel (and we also visited the lost villages of the island and the farmers market in Ponta Delgada)
We went for a hike on the eastern side of Sao Miguel, Azores, Azores, which is also known as the "Lost village of Sao Miguel". If you are planning to visit the Azores, and looking for some recommendations on hikes, there is a good website, where you can search information on different trails on the Azores: trails.visitazores.com/en
We are also talking about drugs and the Azores, about what happened in the past and how drugs came to the island. NETFLIX is currently filming a comedy show about the Azores and drugs, recorded respectively. It should come out in 2023.
One of my favourite places in Ponta Delgada, which is the capital of the Azores, is the farmer's market. For the best experience, try to visit it during Friday/Saturday - there are many sellers!
Take care,
Noemi
What's the point in highlighting a story from twenty years ago about drugs and commenting on the substance abuse situation on the island. You are a guest have some manners, your comments are not helpful and may actually serve to attract the wrong type of people to the Azores.
I do think that it’s important to read about/know/ understand matters/issues, so they can be avoided in the future. If we take, for example, global issues or international development, it’s important to get educated and know (more or less) what is going on in the world. In general, the more people talk about an issue, the higher the chance that an action will be taken. So for this, I do not agree with you and I do not think that talking about it might “attract the wrong type of people to the Azores”. Thanks for sharing your opinion and wishing you a great day!
Bro, shut up LMFAO
A Faria: AMEN!!! 😭👋🥳
A Faria, you are the only one with no manners in this conversation. Mind your own business and let people say whatever they have on their mind, good or bad, let us decide. If you have something to add on the topic, keep it constructive.
Essa video não tem problema, calma
I lived in sao miguel for 27 years, and the best places are not on the map, there are so many hidden gems , I no them all , it was great growing up there , miss it quite a bit
Hey Ryan! I'm taking a trip to the Azores (Sao Miguel) in a few weeks for the first time in my life.. are there any places that you could let me know about ? It'd be nice to be able to see those gems :)

Hello Ryan, I'm planning to visit Sao Miguel this summer and it would be perfect if you could recommend some of the hidden gems on the island. I would really appreciate it and be grateful! Thank you, mate!
Miss my island so much. I’m from Relva, but I’m living in UK. 🌴🌴🌴
I have very distant Portuguese ancestors from Azores. I`m related to people from San Miguel too. What an amazingly beautiful place. I see those ruins and imagine my ancestors walking through them.
so peaceful
Lost but still intriguing with its colors breeze ocean Nature .still beautiful.Peaceful.
Great content. So far the best Channel about Azores I have found. Thanks a lot!! 😁
Thank you, for stopping by! I appreciate it! Wishing you a great day!
Sooo Azoreans are still doing that cocaine after 20 years??? Seems to me they don't like it very much, so why would it be a problem?? What a strange story to tell instead of showing the beauty surrounding the village! And all that in 7,5 min???
I loved the energy!
Please, make more videos 🙂
Micheleee, Grazzie for stopping by! :) hope you are having a wonderful day!!
@@noemimikleova yeah, it’s beautiful and sunny over here. Wish you the same!
Hmmmm, ponte?
Great island I visit every year
Very informative thank you
Thanks for stopping by!
Keep quiet about The Azores....it's a hidden gem and needs to stay that way
Noemi I'm so glad to have found your channel. I'm looking for to move to Portugal and the Azores it's on the top of my list. I just learned something here and hope you'll make mores videos like this. Thank you - New subscriber
Hi Floral Heart, fingers crossed for you, the Azores are beautiful! Regarding moving to the Azores, a few weeks ago I made a video on the “Worst things about the Azores” - some of the information might be helpful regarding moving here. Wishing you a great day! Noemi
We’re I was born we use to walk in the older days 70 is wand I come to Canada 🇨🇦 I use to walk there with my father we use to call a praça love te everything is so fresh thank you for showing
Thank you for stopping by!
I have been in this village when came down from waterfall and hiking track. Didn't know it was abandoned. I saw people there.
I think some of the houses are used as "weekend homes" nowadays! :)
From where in Spain or Portugal could we fly to the Azores Island. This Island is on our bucket list as my husband's ancestors first originated from there as Arseneau family.
Usually, it is necessary to fly to Porto/Lisbon first, and then from there you take a flight to Ponta Delgada (if you are planning to visit Sao Miguel). Try to check flights with Ryanair, Tap Portugal or Sata!
I’m in USA but I spend 6 months a years there. I have a home and a cottage that I rent for vacation
And how much/??? Or you have a local connection?
Where i was born miss it alot
hope you will get to come back soon!
Awesome video !!! My parents are from Ribeira Quente Sao Miguel
Oooh I LOVE Ribeira Quente, such a peaceful place
Noemi!
You are outstanding 😘
Thanks for stopping by!
I like you the most 💖!
Looks like paradise!
The island is worth a visit!! :)
"Paradise" is always in the eye of the beholder.
Locals rarely do drugs in the Azores. It's more of the tourists. Locals got better things to do with their time, like cooking, cleaning, dancing, farming, planting and spending time with friends and family.
"Locals rarely do drugs in the Azores" in the past maybe, but drug use is actually getting higher. It all started in the early 00s with a Cocaine ship from a Italian drug trafficar that went to the north coast of the Island of São Miguel, alot of people used drugs without knowing what drugs were, its a comical and sad situation at the same time. Alot of people obviously got addicted, there are some stories even of using cocaine to make the lines of football fields.
Things stabilized, but the damaged was done. Early 2010s young people started to use "Synthetic" drugs and now its actually a huge problem, specially in the biggest island. Crime has raisen like never before. Sure, crime in the Azores is "Nothing" compared to big European cities, but still, for the local peaceful way of Life in the Azores, rocked alot of people world. There is even some talks of creating some regional laws to fight synthetic drug use that is becoming a problem, combine that with a uneployment of youth and you have a terrible combination. Its actually a huge "shock" for older people seeing how things changed in that part of their society.
@@gordusmaximus4990 she just said that, wtf
Lmao not for a long time
HAHAHAH this comment lmao one of the highest drug abuse in portugal per capita
Bro im from azores and i can tell u many of us do drugs bro😂
I love your UA-cam channel
Have a good day!
you will always be welcome on our island because the best we know how to do is make you feel at home.
don't get me wrong but there were so many interesting things to show and talk about and you decide to talk about something that you didn't even tell correctly you changed the places, I loved the part about the chains that was too much I broke my head laughing but whatever.
I don't know who told you, but I'm sure he didn't even know it very well.
PS- I loved ser you showing the village where I live and calling it another name.
Hi Francisco, maybe you could tell the version of the story you know? I would appreciate it!
I don't know the story, I know the reality, and the reality was that it was a difficult moment in our small society, many young people died because yes, there was a vessel carrying that drug and it was caught by the authorities and what it resulted in was what happens is normal in environments with consumption and traffic, social problems and poverty of spirit because lack of money is not because the state gives them subsidy and in many cases pays them home, light and water.
now tell me the difference between being in são miguel or being on the other side of the world the results are always the same, the only Diference was we are a small society, probably in New York there are more junkies than all 260000 Azoreans and you don t have the same impact if you go talk about them.

Hi form Pico! :) Thank for this interesting video :) I have seen a lot of Sao Miguel, but this village was new to me :D
Hello to Pico! :) thanks for stopping by!
was there on last november.. was really good and beautiful ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Noemi. I was recently there and I know that there's no airport on the eastern end of the island. What on earth was a plane doing flying so low in that area?🤔
Hey Christopher! That's correct, there is no airport on the Eastern end of the island. The part of the video (where the plane appears) was taken on the Western part of the island - it is a barbecue area in the village of Relva, almost right by the airport!
Sanguinho was inhabited after several floods in the parish. With the passage of time without new floods the people returned to live in the parish again.
Thank you for letting know!
Absolutely Beautiful place and great people
You made it sound like this was a bigger problem than what it was..... and yes the old ladies did fry fish in cocaína 😅😅😅
why do you have this impression?
Well, the island WAS a hidden gem 😂. Too many people know about it now. Before you know it, it will be as densely populated with tourists as Hawaii.
I suppose tourism will help the economy at the expense of losing natural beauty to the hand of capitalism.
Do you think they will (or they should) regulate tourism in the future?
@@noemimikleova if they have any respect for the culture and natives, they will. Unfortunately, history proves that whenever there is a profit to be made, we prostitute the land at whatever it takes.
Is English widely used?
From my experience, I would say yes
Can you move their as an european person?... I know the drugs is bad there. Saw it with my own eyes. But its so beautifull...
yes you can move here as an European. It is so beautiful! have an amazing day.
@@noemimikleova you got a handbook of do and don't of it?
It's called Sanguinho, not "the lost village of Sao Miguel" 🤦♀️
Noemi where abouts is that village that you went to?
It’s in the area of Faial de Terra - the village is called Sanguinho!
Which village is that. And do you have proof of Island drug issues and how do you know that that was a very rude thing to say sorry

Sad part is that the UK marine is the biggest drug dealer in the world. Together with Dutch Royal family.. (check their factory in Indonesia).
US marine is used for this as well, incl all the child trafficking that everyone knows about. Boats of the US guys are all seen regularly.. it is sad but true.
Hi Christiaan, to be honest, I never looked into this topic of “biggest drug dealers in the world”. Anyway, it’s really interesting, thanks!
And yeah, I'm gonna make sure you are fully charged...for every single instance.
Honestly, I think you're presenting this in a weird way ... I don't think it will bring any positive result, the way you almost try to make it like a headline story ... It's difficult to pinpoint exactly your intentions behind this video, but I feel like drugs are far from being a problem in the Azores from the other sources that I have read. You're stirring facts and hearsay's to make this sound like a huge problem needing to be addressed at an important scale and it certainly is not that way... I would reconsider keeping this video on UA-cam for the sake of the islands reputation, to respect the locals and the beautiful culture that they have.
Are you a tourist
Ho, the quality Life in azores Is High?
Hey! Depends, on what “quality life” means to you... ?
@@noemimikleova nature...safety..education...hospital...cost of life...enjoy...
@@albertorossi4226 so my opinion is: the nature is amazing, and i have met many people here who have traveled a lot around the world and yet told me that this is one of the nicest places they have ever seen. The nature is truly incredible. If you like to spend time outside in the nature and you like outdoor activities, it's great. In the case of education - this is my second year here at the university, In my faculty they make us read and write a lot, to express your opinions-honestly I love it, this system works for me. I would say the cost of life is lower than in mainland Portugal (I don't know which country are you coming from?). the healthcare is good (at least with the experience I have had until now, there are a couple of hospitals on Sao Miguel, and then of course some healthcare centers)
@@noemimikleova i'm from Italy.. i'm looking for a safe Place where live...and to have an off-grid home...where i can grow suistanible food...spending my time fishing and growing my food...the real estate there Is lowest than the announcements online?
Based on what you wrote, yeah, I think you would like the Azores. (And yes it is true that real estate is going up quite a lot haha)
Hi Noemi you want to see drugs, go to Les Angeles California U.S.A PLEASE LEAVE MY ISLAND A SECRET.
You don´t have to go far away to see d*ugs, because there is a big problem with them on Sao Miguel. Not just cocaine, but also heroine, hash, etc.
@Abi Brown "by the way the island is not exclusive to native portuguese but to other nationalities that made the azores their homes". As long as they remember they are guests in the Azores and learn some manners there won't be a problem. She clearly has bad manners running her mouth on social media about issues that should be discussed within the island and country, not to random people on the internet. It is none of their business. You do not discuss family problems with strangers. That is the problem with some of you folks that have moved in you haven't learned proper manners yet. Either learn them or move on.
@@afaria6173 she's not a guest there, it's not your planet nobody owns the land on this earth.
Don't tell people about this island treasure. They will go there and wreck it.
Impeccable images. Keep up the good work.
I take this opportunity to invite you to follow "Azores, What Else",
both here on UA-cam, as on Instagram and other social networks.
Best regards.
Bullshit story, the island doesn't have a drug problem. And you won't ever be allowed on the islands or Portugal ever again. That is if you haven't committed serious crimes in which case you're going to prison...on the mainland in a high security institution. Cheers!
Cheers! Please attach a link, which confirms your claims! Obrigada.
Hey BMR I find your comment to be rude. We should all be able to comment politely while getting our opinions and viewpoints across. My father was from Sao Jorge and I spent my teenage years living there. Drugs were all but nonexistent. But since moving back to the US Portugal has legalized all sorts of drugs users go through therapy dealers go to prison jail etc. I have no idea if they are barred from the island as you state. I just know that some people have in the past been shipped to the Azores from Canada and US for criminal activities and there they sit and grow old
Drugs is an issue and sticking your head in the sand does not make it go away
I have family from ribeirinha area..it was a place called cascalho. It was 10 to 15 minute walk from ribeirinha...i want to know what happened to this village area.. From what my family was told that a few years after leaving the portuguese government basically condemned the village or small town called cascalho and built homes in neighboring areas to evacuate and relocate the people that were living in cascalho....my family had no running water or electricity. It was just after they left maybe 2yrs when electricity was put in..and maybe 3 years after that they relocated all the people out of there..can anyone help me in figuring out what happened to this place and what is in its place today...this was in the 70s my family came to usa..like i said it was next to ribeirinha...
