The guest house format suits travellers who want a base on São Miguel rather than a large resort property. Reaching the island is by air into Ponta Delgada, and from there the island's roads connect the main settlements.
Sperm whales, dolphins and seabirds such as Cory's shearwater are seen on whale-watching trips from several ports. Tea and pineapple are grown on São Miguel, and hydrangeas line the lanes of several islands in summer.
Portuguese is the main language, spoken with distinctive island accents and local words. Dairy farming and cattle-rearing shape the pastureland, so beef, butter and cheese are local staples.
