A small town that relies upon its wonderful landscape to entice tourists, Praia da Vitoria has gone relatively unnoticed among the exponential growth of Portugal’s coastal resorts. Challenging walking trails dominate much of the coastline, providing stunning views of the surrounding water and towering mountainside. If simply walking doesn’t wet the active appetite, rope adventures allow adrenaline junkies the chance to scale the rock formations and climb under the guidance of qualified instructors. To continue the thirst for adventure, many brave the water in a kayak or canoe, evoking an arduous workout, particularly in the summer amid a warm climate. The entire town may exude a vibe that only adheres to the active traveller, yet there is plenty of places that are perfect for whiling away a relaxing few hours. Praia dos Biscoitos is a haven drenched in looking spots and tranquil bays that seemingly act as a forcefield from the stresses of the modern day. Swim amidst the striking mountains before admiring the gorgeous scenery that encompasses Praia da Vitoria – for a sleepy day in the sole company of friends and family – the beautiful mountainside is ideal.
The pleasant weather and environment is made for a leisurely stroll, especially considering the laid back nature.
The Azores are a symbol of beauty lying in the North Atlantic Ocean, and Ponta Delgada embodies all that is desirable about the volcanic island group. Much like many regions of a small island, Ponta Delgada exudes a natural allure that sparks a rejuvenatingly fresh and clean energy around the glorious landscape. The church at the top of the hill excites even the most ardent atheist; the architecture showcases the religious history of the island, and the views of Ponta Delgada are breathtaking from the apex of the hill. The glorious views aren’t just exclusive to the church hill, whole days can be spent exploring the stunning scenery that decorates the land. The main town is slightly more vibrant than the surrounding hillside, though it is still a place where many come to escape from the stresses of everyday life. Modern buildings are subtly introduced amid the historical landmarks, and to embark on a thorough tour of the city centre, many companies supply a tour guide for a reasonable price.
Large travel companies offer transport to and from the region, but to get around the town there are many small mini buses in operation. The buses aren’t always necessary, and it is more than possible to comfortably stroll around most of the centre.
