I will have to beg to differ with Katharine on a couple of points. I've gone to Ponta Delgada on 4 different trips in either July or August. I've never seen it overrun with tourists. Actually, out of my 4 trips there, I've only seen 1 other tourist once and they came only 1 day. It was me the other days. I did take a trip with Shirley Allegre. Shirley will correct me, but besides some students, I believe we were the only Americans there.
Also, the only time I had a problem with humidity was when I was on Terceira. I was there for 2 weeks in July I believe. I didn't have a problem with humidity on Sao Miguel on any of my 4 trips there. I think that the islands probably differ a bit in their micro climates.
