Casa Rocha Mar
About
In São Miguel (Azores), Casa Rocha Mar (AL) occupies R. de São Pedro, 9630-253 Nordestinho, Portugal. The property is a guest house in Nordestinho, a parish on the island's north-east coast.
Casa Rocha Mar (AL) is known for its setting in the quieter Nordeste area, away from the busier resorts around Ponta Delgada. First-time visitors should expect a small property with few rooms, reflected in a 5 out of 5 average from 5 reviews. Ponta Delgada lies to the west, while Furnas, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo, Setes Cidades and Povoação sit within reach across the island.
Portuguese is the main language, spoken with distinctive island accents and local words, so a little Portuguese helps when travelling around São Miguel. Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September, which suits visitors planning coastal days.
Sperm whales, dolphins and seabirds such as Cory's shearwater are seen on whale-watching trips from several ports, and boats leave from points around the island. The islands were settled by the Portuguese from the fifteenth century and became stopping points on Atlantic shipping routes, which shaped the architecture and place names still visible today.
