São Miguel runs on a mild oceanic climate, so the landscape stays green through the year and rain mostly falls in winter. Portuguese is the everyday language, spoken with island accents and local words that visitors pick up quickly.

Carnival, religious processions and bull-running on a rope fill parts of the island calendar, so a market morning can sit alongside a festival day.
