The kitchen belongs to the island's restaurant tradition, where limpets, tuna, grilled fish and caldeirada fish stews appear on tables, and most islands make their own cheese. Setes Cidades lies further inland, giving the southern location a second direction for anyone exploring beyond the coast.
Portuguese is the everyday language on São Miguel, spoken with distinctive island accents and local words, so a few phrases help with routine exchanges.
