Minimercado José de Simas Moniz
About
On São Miguel (Azores), Minimercado José de Simas Moniz is known in Nordeste, Portugal, at the eastern end of the island. First-time visitors should expect a small neighbourhood shop rather than a large supermarket, with a compact range suited to everyday needs.
A 4.1 out of 5 average from 48 reviews gives the shop a steady local reputation. Nordeste sits away from the main population centres, while Ponta Delgada, Furnas, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo, Setes Cidades and Povoação are spread across the rest of the island and reached by road.
The islands lie in the path of Atlantic weather systems, so showers and wind can arrive quickly at any time of year. Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September.
Sperm whales, dolphins and seabirds such as Cory's shearwater are seen on whale-watching trips from several ports. Driving between the eastern and western ends of São Miguel takes planning, so allow time for the journey.
