- BIKING and the AZORES
Cycling is a thing on the Azores, so we planned a bike trip from the Southern shore of Sao Miguel to the town located on the north - Ribeira Grande. We also visited Pinhal de Paz, a natural park and stopped at the beach of Santa Barbara.
By the way, did you know that Sao Miguel currently plays the highest Portuguese soccer league? This is the stadium!
Then, we also visited the pineapple plantations in Ponta Delgada. Find out some information on the pineapple on the Azores (03:55) it can be a fun activity, if the rain catches you.
Looking for some other inspiration on what to do in Ponta Delgada? Try to visit the botanical gardens and parks (05:34).
Then, recently I have visited a park in Furnas, which was opened only in 2020. The park is called Parque Grená (06:43). Then, there is a little sneak peak to one of the most famous parks on the island - Terra Nostra, also in Furnas.
Do you have any recommendations on which other parks to visit on Sao Miguel?
Have a great day friends,
Noemi
Nice film from nice girl.... Greetings Mario from Poland
Have an amazing day Mario!
I lived on Terceira as a kid. My dad was in the US Air Force. I always wanted to go back, and my husband lived there, too, as a missionary’s kid. He is a cyclist so maybe this wonderful video will convince him!!
Fingers crossed for you!! Happy Holidays to you guys!
Great deals 599 air and hotel March 2022
I love ❤ the Azores.I love Sao Miguel.
I can see you working as a tourist guide. You're so good at explaning everything. And i did do a bike tour along the coastal road in januari 2014 and the weather was great!
Hey Hans! Thanks, for thinking that haha.
I really like your videos. I visited Sao Miguel before the pandemic but only as a stopover en route to Lisbon from North America. Once a person has visited the Azores, the place stays in your heart a little.
Thank you! I hope you will get a chance to visit Sao Miguel again (for a bit longer than previously)!
Thank you for your videos! I’ve been on Azores 3 times, and I want more 💚 Such a magical place. Btw I was lucky to see Sete Cidades view in February, and then we came in July and it was all covered by clouds, lol.
Hey Natalia! Thanks for stopping by! And with the weather, yeah haha, no forecast works here 😅 Hope you will have a chance to come back!
@@noemimikleova Yeah it is. 60 degrees and cloudy & windy year around, especially in winter. With sunshine hours from
1390 - 1626 out of 4308 possible sunshine hours.
How is February ..very raining or chance to be sunny and warm?
Absolutely love your videos. Thanks so much for sharing them.
Thanks for thinking that! Hope you have a wonderful day
Hello
Naomi you know more about the island than the locals. Great stuff!!!
Hello Francisco, that is certainly not true and I hope to learn more about the island! But thank you! Have a great day!
Hey! I’m your 500th subscriber 😊
Found out recently from a dna test I have 40% dna from the azores. wanted to see what it’s like to live there. thanks for your videos! 🤗
Hello Elena!! (And welcome 🤪). I hope a lot that one day you will get to experience the islands! :) fingers crossed for you, and thanks for stopping by!
Obrigada ! Lindo vídeo⭐⭐⭐⭐
Obrigada!
Thank you so much for sharing. Would love to solo travel to the Azores but dont have a drivers liscence. Lovely to see biking is an option 😊
Good luck! :) biking is an option, there are also buses or you may even be able to find people to travel around with by a car!
I'm thinking of coming to Azores this winter, it would be nice to meet you this will be my first time in 42 years since I left
Roger have a WONDERFUL time!!!
Linda!
💙
Hope to see Azores this winter 😊 Greetings from Finland
Fingers crossed!!
Hope to visit Finland someday. I worked as a hotel receptionist for a few years and I really loved Finnish tourists.
I like the way you pronunce portuguese names.
Great video very informative but also well filmed.
Hey! Thanks for thinking that and for stopping by!
Ein schönes Video!
❤️
Thanks, this is interesting. Most Vloggers show the edges of the island and a few streets.
Hey, Thank you for thinking that and for stopping by! Wishing you a great day!
Ps.I love your videos 📹 ❤
Thank you! Wishing you a wonderful day!
I love your videos! I'm thinking of visiting the azores for a bit of a photography trip. I was wondering what time of year it is typically most green? judging by these winter videos I'm starting to wonder if winter is the most photogenic time.. especially with all of the fog! thanks!!
I love summer on the Azores! It is amazing with all the hydrangeas. Overall, it rains a lot on the islands, so its green every time of the year.
heading next week to sao miguel, love biking. is it
easy to rent bikes in ponta delgada? also this route you did seams really nice, its a 1 day trip right?
There are these public bikes which you could rent (it is necessary to download the app) - they are also electric, and downtown there should be a place where you could rent normal bikes as well! Or maybe try to ask your accommodation, some of them have bikes for tourists :) .. and yees, I would say 1 day is okay, since you can stop on the way (also, maybe try to pick a day when it’s not so windy! :)).. there is a really good app with webcams called spotazores, where you can check the weather on different parts on the island, so before you go, check it just in case (because it could be sunny on the south and rainy on the north haha)
Hi Noemi, can you please tell us the place where you are. It looks a bit far from Ponta Delgada. Is it really possible to walk along the sea up to where you are or should one drive to the viewpoint. Thank you.
hello! could you maybe, please, specify the timing (minute) in the video. so i can check it and let you know? Thanks!
Hey boss, what month you were there?
05:20 The smoke is not for fertilizing the plants, but to force them to bear fruit.
Hi Andrei, thanks for the information!
@@noemimikleova My pleasure! 🤗 I have a curiosity for myself, if you know...does mango or papaya grow in the Azores?
@@dncviorel so ..I personally have never heard or seen anyone growing mango/papaya . Also, sometimes I go to the local market and I have never seen anyone selling home-grown mango or papaya .. (but I often hear that you could grown anything here, because of the climate). I have seen avocado and passion fruit and many different exotic fruit trees... but specifically mango and papaya, I don't think it's really common to grow it here.. I would be curious though whether it would grow
@@noemimikleova Very interesting. I know that papaya can't grow where temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius, so that should not be a problem since Azores it's always on the + side. And mango does tolerate a very small amount of chill hours, and maybe even around 0 degrees, so a bit less pretentious than papaya, but if the mango it's in flowering season, chances are you might lose most of the crop. With that being said...in theory you should be able to grow both mango and papaya, but most likely in specific microclimates (maybe in Santa Maria), as it might be too windy for them in the Azores, generally speaking. And one more thing I'd like to ask...do you think humidity is a problem for house maintenance? Do you have to be extra-careful to avoid mold indoors? I'm also considering Azores as a future home one day, maybe in Santa Maria, as it is warmer, who knows.
My parents are from Sao miguel the town of Ribeira Quente
Ribeira Quente is amazing, I love the town!
@@noemimikleova I'm in Canada now I try to go back once every two years. I miss it.
Is March a good time to visit? I was thinking of honeymooning here but i’m not sure if it’s worth the visit that time of the year
I think it is worth a visit every time of the year, the only thing is that the weather can get quite unpredictable in March!
March is a stormy month in the North Atlantic.
The new miradouro is after Sao roque ?
it is in Sao Roque, basically between Ponta Delgada and the beach in Sao Roque,
Ah! I think I know where it is. It was on construction last time I past. We stopped at Cais20 and eaten a wonderful veggie paella. Might go there again in a few days. Keep up the good work.
@@holsblueberry2079 yes exactly, it’s the one you are talking about! I love Cais 20 haha, have you tried the cinamon ice-cream there?
@@noemimikleova hehe. We didn’t try the cinnamon ice cream. We’re always full after The paella. We’re in PD right now. It’s easy to walk back and digest, so we’ll try the ice cream. Thanks for your video btw.
i love U
2 plus years to produce ONE pineapple and dedicate all the land and building to do it. I don't understand the math: how can you pay any bills, labour, land, taxes, shipping?? EVen if the land is clear title and in the family for decades, I don't see it!!!
you hear of any travelers getting covid and not being able to leave the Azores?
I have not heard of this recently…
how can this lady have a boyfriend ? hmm
