Miradouro dos Ilhéus
About
Set on São Miguel (Azores), Miradouro dos Ilhéus is a local business. Visitors rate the viewpoint 4.5 out of 5 from 11 reviews, a strong average from a small number of appraisals. The address at RHG2+64, Moinhos, Portugal places it near the hamlet of Moinhos, within reach of Ponta Delgada, Lagoa, Ribeira Grande and Vila Franca do Campo, while Furnas, Nordeste, Setes Cidades and Povoação lie further out.
As a viewpoint, the site is visited for its outlook rather than for food or lodging. Two photographs accompany the listing, showing the prospect from the spot.
Portugal's islands have a mild oceanic climate, with green landscapes through the year and most rain in winter. Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September. Tea and pineapple are grown on São Miguel, and hydrangeas line the lanes of several islands in summer. Whaling was an important island industry until the 1980s, and its boats and lookout posts are kept in island museums.
