HISTORY 

AZORES 

The Portuguese arrived in 1427 with the discovery of the island of Santa Maria. Due to its strategic 

geographic position, the archipelago was to become one of the axis of navigation between Europe, the 

Orient and America during the course of the 16th and 17th centuries. This period saw many major naval 

battles take place off the Azores as a result of pirate attacks. Subsequent centuries saw the development 

of the islands, the introduction of new agriculture, and the development of cattle breeding and fishing. 

Having constituted an integral part of Portugal from the very outset, today the Azores is an autonomous 

region endowed with its own parliament and government. 

CULTURAL HERITAGE 

Many of the island’s churches bear witness to the first period settlement. The 16th and 17th centuries 

were times of intensive building in the Azores, and left us interesting examples of popular, military and 

religious art, particularly in the baroque style. The character of buildings was often adapted to suit the 

raw materials available, as well as reflecting the island’s distance from the cultural centers of Europe. The 

16th century town of Angra do Heroísmo (on the island of Terceira), was the first urban centre built in the 

Atlantic. Today, its well preserved churches, palaces and fortress have earned it UNESCO World Heritage 

status. UNESCO has also recognized the cultural landscape of vineyards on the island of Pico, which are 

situated on old lava covered fields. Over the centuries, this rocky land has been transformed into wine 

producing soil protected by a vast network of stone walls. The museums of art and ethnography, together 

with the popular architecture of each island are also valuable parts of the region’s cultural heritage. They 

provide us with ways of discovering Azorean history and the life of its people throughout the centuries. 

FLORA 

There are over 900 plants species in the Azores, many are relics from the “Laurissilva” cloud forest of the 

Tertiary period. This makes the islands a natural botanic garden of great interest to all plant lovers. 

Around 60 species are endemic, including Juniper, tree Heathers, Azorean Holly, Azorean Laurustinus, 

“Azorina vidalii”, “Picconia azorica”, African box wood, Azores Cherry Laurel, and more. Other species were 

introduced from the beginning of settlement in the 15th century, either for food and timber or to satisfy 

the local people’s love for colorful flowers. 

FAUNA 

Azorean birds are one of the main attractions in the region, particularly the “priolo” (Azorean 

Bullfinch, an endemic species), plus the Buzzard, Monteiro Storm Petrel, Cory’s Shearwater, Cliff Pigeon 

and common and Rosette Tern. The seas surrounding the Azores are rich in hundreds of species of fish 

and mollusks, as well as harboring large whales and dolphins. The islands are therefore perfect for divers. 

GEOLOGY 

The Azores evolved from volcanic eruptions over many millennia; and all round the islands are examples 

of curious volcanic phenomena. There are rounded craters or “caldeiras”, often filled with lakes, plus caves 

and deep tunnels formed by the eruptions. Ancient black lava covers many surfaces and the islands, 

ranging from shiny obsidian to soft and porous pumice stones with steam from bubbling hot springs. 

NATURE 

General Information 

about the AZORES 

On all nine islands, there are dozens of natural reserves, protected landscape areas and parks. These are 

part of the Regional Government’s programme to preserve the archipelago’s ecosystems. In recognition of 

this, the Azores has recently won a special commendation in the European Tourism and the Environment 

Awards. For more information about Azores Awards, please go to: www.visitazores.com

CLIMATE 

AZORES 

The Archipelago of the Azores enjoys a privileged climate which is temperate maritime and softened by 

the gentle influence of the Gulf Stream. There is little temperature variation with an average of 13°C (55°F) 

in winter and 23°C (73°F) in summer. The water temperature also varies little, oscillating between 17°C and 

24°C (63°F and 75°F). 

LANDSCAPE 

Each of the nine islands of the Azores has its own charm and its own distinctive landscapes. They also 

have a number of things in common - lush green countryside and colourful flowers, volcanic phenomena 

such as crater lakes at the bottom of “caldeiras”, plus mysterious caves, rock clefts and tunnels and, in the 

case of Pico island, a majestic mountain. To visit the Azores is to enter a landscape unspoiled by human 

interference, a stunning environment that brings you closer to nature. 

GASTRONOMY 

Food lovers will appreciate the varied traditional cuisine of the Azores. For example, if you like your fish 

straight out of the sea, then these islands will make the perfect holiday. If you also like meat, try the 

“Cozido das Furnas”, a dish boiled with volcanic steam. Main courses and sweet puddings come in many 

varieties, and fine cheeses are locally produced, particularly on São Jorge island. Home grown fruit 

includes pineapple and tropical passion fruit, while perfumed tea grows on the island of S. Miguel, in the 

only tea plantations in Europe. When it comes to complementing your meal with a drink, be sure to try 

the local red and white wines, plus the “aguardente” (firewater) from Graciosa island, Biscoitos wine from 

Terceira island and of course the “verdelho” wine from Pico.

LANGUAGE 

The Azores is part of Portugal, therefore the official language is Portuguese. Many Azoreans speak English 

and some speak French. 

CURRENCY 

As part of Portugal, the currency is Euro as well. Most of the restaurants, hotels and car-renting companies 

accept common credit-cards. But don’t expect credit cards to be accepted in smaller restaurants and 

residential. Be sure to carry small bills. There are places that it can be a problem to change bigger notes. 

ELECTRICITY 

The voltages on all of the islands is 220 volt alternating current. Don’t forget an adaptor/converter. Wall 

plugins are round (different from Canada).

10 Reasons to Visit 

AZORES 

NATURE /SCENERY - Few destinations match the natural beauty of the Azores. Mountains soar to the sky, 

deep lakes form in craters of dormant volcanoes, gentle hills roll to the ocean, and floral splashes of blue

WILDLIFE - Diverse flora and fauna flourish untamed in the Azores. The highlight for many nature lovers is 

spotting the sperm whales and dolphins passing by. 

SOFT ADVENTURE - There are countless walking and hiking possibilities for all levels, with or without a 

guide, and great mountain-biking. 

CULTURE - Isolated from the rest of the world, Azorean culture has remained undiluted by outside 

influences.

of their rich and colorful history.

live in São Miguel – the Azores is the perfect destination for anyone wanting to escape the stress and

friendly and very welcoming.

S. Miguel, located on the eastern side of the archipelago, is by far the largest of the nine islands being 

65km long, 14km at its widest and with an area of 750km. It is made up of 4 volcanic complexes and 6 

municipalities. A very beautiful and varied island, ideal for long stays. To the west of the island, Ponta 

Delgada, seat of the regional government, the main town and port has preserved its historical beauty. It is 

a delight to explore the narrow cobbled streets bordered by very well preserved period houses. Within 

this municipality is the Sete Cidades, an extinct volcano crater of 40 sq. km, with two magnificent lakes 

one green, and the other blue. To the north of the island lies the town of Ribeira Grande, surrounded by 

fertile lands yielding crops which include potatoes, passion fruit and tea ( the only place in Europe where 

its grown) The dramatic “Lagoa do Fogo” (Fire lake) and delightful beaches nestling under high cliffs. 

Nordeste, the northeast coast is a very special and relatively undiscovered region with spectacular high 

cliffs plunging from high, flower covered plateau, fields and wooded mountains into the sea. There’s so 

much to do during your stay on S. Miguel. Choose from whale & dolphin watching, diving, deep sea game 

fishing, walking and much more. The municipality of Povoação is in the south-east, where we find Furnas, 

one of the largest thermal water source in the world. During Spring and Summer hedgerows of azaleas 

and hydrangeas blow all over the valley. To the south of S. Miguel, the municipalities of Vila Franca do 

Campo (the island’s first capital) and Lagoa are mountainous, agricultural and farming areas with black 

cliffs disappearing into the ocean. Here pineapples, bananas and oranges are cultivated.

May and goes until the end of June but can vary depending on water temperatures etc. After the Tuna comes Marlin in June, July, August and in September. 

MEALS ON BOARD: For the half and full days free drinks are served on board (pop, water, beer). In full days a person from the team prepares a hot lunch but in 

summer it may be a cold salad, and very often is the catch of the day, which means the fish that was caught

HOLIDAYS ON FAIAL 

The Blue Island 

The island of Faial has become the resting place of transatlantic sailors. Horta, the main town, has a 

cosmopolitan and exciting feel and, at bars and restaurants, one hears snippets of sailing stories from 

around the world. The atmosphere at the legendary Peter’s Cafe, on the harbour-front, encapsulates 

the very essence of nautical adventure. The island is dominated by the 1,043m cone of its vast Caldeira 

(volcanic crater) which is accessed through a tunnel in the cone’s side. From mid-June to August the island 

is a riot of blue as the hedges of hydrangeas burst into bloom. 

Explore the green Caldeira (now a nature reserve) and Capelinhos, the rather eerie site of the 1957 

volcanic eruption, which transformed the geography of the island. From Horta there are wonderful and 

ever changing views of the Pico Mountain, 8km across the water. Horta is also an excellent base from 

where one can visit the islands of Pico (all year round with several trips during the day) and São Jorge 

(summer months only).

interests from golf, exploring volcanos, walking, swimming in natural rock pools and visiting the sixtyeight 

“Impérios” (small chapels of the Holy Spirit) from the 19th century, which are scattered throughout 

the island. Then there are the colorful festivals and street bullfights (they pad the bulls’ horn’s and bulls are

São Jorge Island 

AZORES 

One of the most magical of all the islands, S. Jorge is just 61 km long and 4.8 km wide. Its long backbone is dotted with lush green craters, 

while steep volcanic cliffs drop to the sea below forming small coastal plains, the “fajãs”. The majority of fajãs are accessible only by tiny, 

winding paths, and are home to small communities built around whitewashed churches. S. Jorge is a walker’s paradise, boasting some of 

the best trails in the Azores and the most spectacular scenery. Scrambling down the hillside to the peace of a fajã is a highlight for many, 

while the centre of the island is higher with tranquil views and verdant farmland. The dairy farming tradition is strong here, and the island 

is famous for its delicious cheese. Freshwater clams farmed in Fajã do Santo Cristo lagoon are a delicacy unique to the island. Velas, the 

island’s main village, is a charming little town, built around a pretty harbor surrounded by cliffs. Portão do Mar, an 18th century gateway 

to the city, opens on to narrow streets, with the parish church of São Jorge one of the most noticeable buildings. Further west at Manadas, 

the 18th century Church of Santa Barbara is one of the most distinguished of the Azores, with its elaborately decorated interior.

Pico Island 

AZORES 

The most instantly recognizable of the islands, Pico is dominated by majestic Pico Mountain itself, a dormant volcano soaring to 7200 ft on 

an island barely 10 miles wide. Views from the top are unbeatable on a clear day. Reminders of Pico’s volcanic origins are clearly present 

throughout the island. Low black lava walls form tiny enclosures for grape vines - Pico is known for its fortified verdelho wine - while the 

simple houses are made from blocks of black stone. Lava formations, the “misterios”, with caves and colourful flowers, create a distinctive 

landscape. The second largest Azorean Island, with a wild and varied landscape of woods, lakes, gentle hills and steep craters, Pico lends 

itself to exploring by car or on foot. Pico is perhaps the best island for whale watching trips with frequent sighting of these amazing 

creatures off its shore. A whaling museum at Lajes chronicles a long tradition and way of life that was banned in 1986. The picturesque 

village of Madalena, which grew up around a small harbour, has the Church of Santa Maria Madalena dominating the main square. 

HOTEL CARAVELAS 3 STARS

BIRD WATCHING 

Bird watching in their natural habitat is easy with the help of binoculars which allow people to observe animal 

behavior. In Pico Island, there is a large concentration of tiny birds, birds of prey, like the Buzzard, which is the symbol of 

the Archipelago, as well as seabirds like “Cagarros” and “Garajaus”. The reason for such bird abundance on Pico Island is 

because there are a lot of shelters on the rocks, suitable places for bird nests, and abundant food keeping them on Pico.

Flores & Corvo Islands 

Known as the prettiest of all the islands, Flores lies at the most western point, 1,380 miles from Lisbon, and there’s an almost tangible sense 

of peace and tranquility. Just 16 km long and 11 km wide, its rugged, green landscape is very different from the other islands, with high 

basalt plateau dropping steeply, creating cascading waterfalls. Seven lakes dot the centre, pastures surrounded by hydrangea cling to 

hillsides, and fast running streams. Named Flores after the profusion of flowers found on the island, the enchanting natural beauty makes 

it a walker’s paradise, especially along the coast where the mountains cradle the bay. 

The most remote of all the islands of the archipelago, Corvo is also the smallest at just over four miles long and under three miles wide. The 

island is 1.5 hrs by boat from Flores and home to around 430 people, for whom life has hardly changed over the centuries. There’s just one 

road leading up the hill away from Vila Nova, the only village. In the old part, narrow cobbled streets wind back from the harbor and our 

Lady of Miracles Church has an enviable position looking out towards the sea. 

HOTEL DAS FLORES 4 STARS 

Located in the Boqueirao area in Santa Cruz, close to the airport. Situated on a promontory, it offers wonderful 

panoramic views of the ocean and the island of Corvo. With 26 modern rooms, it’s a first-choice property for visitors 

looking for a decent level of comfort and a good range of facilities during their stay in Flores. Gym, games room and

Fajãs Walking Experience 

São Jorge - Program Starting/Ending at Faial

are from easy to medium, having the duration between 3h00 and 5h00. The frequent mentioned “Fajãs” are flat, low-lying areas leading to the sea on both sides 

of the island, formed by subsidence of the cliffs. Many have been converted in fertile orchards or farmland, producing tropical fruits and beautiful dragon-trees 

thanks to the micro-climate.

Natural paradise, fit for romance and fun. Offering an ideal climate all year around, mild temperatures makes it inviting for weddings and vacations! 

There are many bays and lagoons which dot the islands shoreline providing an abundance of magnificent ocean views, not to mention some of the best 

photographic backdrops, and of course lots of opportunities for pre/post wedding activities and adventures such as swimming, snorkeling, diving and 

sailing activities. 

Planning a destination wedding is easy with Alitours Wedding Planners - we are the experts in planning stress-free destination weddings. Our team consists of 

certified Wedding Planners and designers who work with you to ensure no detail is overlooked in planning your magical day. We understand how overwhelmed 

the happy couple can feel not only simply planning a wedding - but an overseas event, however you can rely on our 15 years of experience and connections to 

the best resources in carrying out every desire of the bride and groom. 

Alitours’ wedding planners are here to save you time sorting through all specific destination wedding questions and do all the necessary legwork involved 

before, during, and after with regards to legal portions, as well as detailing. We believe each wedding is unique, and should be tailored to suit the individual’s 

budget and vision of their grand event. So whether it is a ceremony with only the happy couple attending, or an entourage of guests, our close preferred 

relationships with extraordinary properties, together with the most exclusive and reputable vendors, and our coordinating/planning services, we are happy to 

make your dreams come true in the amazing islands of The Azores. Now stop dreaming, and let’s start planning! 

RELIGIOUS CEREMONY: Portugal is considered a Catholic country and as a result the only religious weddings that are legally binding in Portugal are Catholic 

ceremonies. Stunning cathedrals, beautiful churches and lovely chapels are abundant throughout the country and its islands. 

CIVIL CEREMONY: Civil Weddings are legally binding both in Portugal and in your home country. As a rule, civil weddings are held either in state rooms, at the 

Wedding Hall or at the embassy. Nonetheless, for an additional fee celebrants may travel to the venue of your choice. 

SYMBOLIC CEREMONY: Symbolic services can be as elaborate or as simple as you wish. These ceremonies, for first-times and re-commitments, can be held in 

religious chapels, on a boat, in a park, or just about any other location you can think of! These types of weddings are not legally binding; nonetheless you do 

receive a symbolic certificate in hand calligraphy. 

FLOWERS: For you, your guests, bridesmaids and venue - tasteful embellishments for an already beautiful day. 

BEAUTY: For the happy couple and/or the bridal party, select spa services and beauty treatments before the big day in preparation of the joyous occasion, and 

afterwards to unwind from the busy day. 

TRANSPORT: Why not treat yourself to a horse and carriage ride, luxury car, or arrive to your ceremony or reception by boat! 

MUSIC: According to your taste: violin, mandolin, or guitar to accompany you during and after the ceremony. 

FAVOURS: Why not add a final touch by offering your guests a small thank you gift as a reminder of your happy day. 

RECEPTION: A large selection of restaurants are available in each location, offering the best of local cuisine with elegant and romantic surroundings for the 

special occasion. 

PHOTO/VIDEO: With such a memorable event, you will want every picture frame in your house filled with joyous moments celebrated together on this special 

day. Professional photographers and videographers will help capture every moment, so you can relive them over and over again. 

DESTINATION INFO: The largest of the nine islands in the Azores is São Miguel and its largest city is Ponta Delgada. If you are looking for absolute comfort, 

shopping, bistros, cafés and a hip nightlife then this is the place to be. São Miguel Island is known as the 

Green Island because of its lush green fields and meadows and its gorgeous tree-covered slopes. The 

second largest island, Pico, has an unbelievable scenery. The Pico Mountain is the tallest peak in the mid 

Atlantic. The third largest of the Azores Islands is Terceira – known for its gastronomy and its laid-back 

atmosphere it is also home to the city of Angra do 

Heroísmo (Bay of Heroes), which is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding historical 

monuments. If you are looking to get as far away from the hustle and bustle of modern life as you possibly 

can, consider the Azores, tucked away in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, hundreds of miles from the 

nearest continent… your Natural paradise awaits you.
