The Azores, November 2024
We recently had the incredible opportunity to explore the stunning Azores, specifically the islands of São Miguel and Terceira. A big thank you to our wonderful hosts at Visit Portugal for this unforgettable experience! We stayed at the beautiful Marina Atlântico Hotel, which boasted oceanfront views and was a perfect base to explore the island's lush landscapes. We were also fortunate to experience the Zenite Boutique Hotel & Spa, a beautifully restored 18th-century manor house that combined historical charm with modern luxury. Thank you again to our gracious hosts, and we can’t wait to return!
