Leonor is right about the back roads! On São Miguel especially there is a
smaller old road that parallels the main highway that rings the island. It
is closer to the coast and goes through many small towns. A much nicer
route if you have the time to go slowly.

Lenor, we like the back roads too! Should be fun.

Hello Deb,
I thought I would just throw this in a recommendation for a guide. I’ve
been to the Azores several times and on my last three visits to Sao Miguel, we
have used a wonderful guide, Gary Travassos.
I’ve also used taxis but there is really something to be said about having a
I grew up in São Miguel and have done the Volta a Ilha many times, before
they built the highway. The back roads are still my favourite way to
travel, we often stay off the highway, in this way we always find small

Thanks everyone for your suggestions for my trip to the Azores in May. Such
good ideas!
If anyone has specifics about car rental, people who give tours, places to see
in FAIAL (Feteira is where grandpa is from) and PICO (which is where more
distant relatives are from), I would appreciate it.
Thanks so much, Donna. I will work on the car rental now.

We normally stay with relatives when we go, but last year we went with a
group of people and decided to Airbnb. Because we know our way around the
island, we rented a car but our host offered to find someone to show us
around. He actually got us a discount on our car.
We stayed here
We did this last October. Sao Miguel is very easy to navigate in a rental car.

Deb,
If you know where you are going, rent a car. Or you can go to the taxi
stand, ask for an English speaking driver, tell him where you want to go.
Ask him how long it will take to get there and back, and an hour (or
whatever to sightsee). If he says 4 hours, ask him what he makes in 4 hours
Four of us are visiting the Azores in May for two weeks. Any recommendations
on where to stay on Sao Miguel, Pico, or Faial? I would appreciate your
opinion on whether to rent a car or to hire a driver on each island. Any names
for either?
I want to go to the villages where my ancestors
