About
On São Miguel (Azores), name=Miradouro do Furado stands above the settlement of Moinhos. The viewpoint has earned a 4.9 out of 5 average from 37 reviews, a small but consistent record for a coastal lookout.
First-time visitors should expect an open, exposed vantage point rather than a built attraction, with the 37 reviews reflecting those who have made the trip specifically for the view. Ponta Delgada, Furnas, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo, Nordeste, Setes Cidades and Povoação all lie within reach across the island, and Nordeste sits closest to this eastern stretch of coast.
The islands lie in the path of Atlantic weather systems, so showers and wind can arrive quickly at any time of year, and a layer of waterproof clothing is worth carrying. Portuguese is the main language, spoken with distinctive island accents and local words, which is useful to know when asking for directions.
Sperm whales, dolphins and seabirds such as Cory's shearwater are seen on whale-watching trips from several ports, so a coastal viewpoint and a boat trip pair naturally on the same visit. Carnival, religious processions and bull-running on a rope are part of the island calendar, giving the quieter months their own local colour.
