Photos - visits
Living all year round in a popular tourist destination I used (before COVID) to receive visits often; specially when living in Ponta Delgada where the international airport is located.
This is with my mother exploring the islands:

To enjoy Azores is better not to be very picky at lunch time:

I like to move by bike whenever I have a chance, here we went to Sete Cidades, a huge volcanic cone with an interior lagoon:

This is near a natural hot springs in the South West coast:

Before COVID many people came to the Azores in big cruising ships, Xebec used to be moored next to them: a much smaller boat, but I was both the owner and the captain!
