Top 10 Other Outdoor Activities in Azores, Portugal
The nine islands that make up the Azores are in fact the peaks of some of the world's tallest mountains, reaching from deep beneath the Atlantic. The once-uninhabited, volcanic archipelago now hosts thousands of tourists every year who flock to the islands for sun, sand and verdant mountain scenery. From the beaches of Praia da Vitoria to the bustling marina of Horta, to the bubbling volcanic ground "ovens" of Furnas, these islands offer unparalleled--and unusual--adventures to discover.

A wonderful place to watch the waves crash against the lava shorelines. Go on a windy day to add to the beauty. Lots of people swimming in the pools even in January. Rocks were a little bit slippery. Lots of free parking. There is a tiny market area with fresh baked goods and fresh fruits and veggies. A couple of booths have homemade crafts including things made from lava.

This is a beautiful botanic gardens that holds many varieties of trees and shrubs. There is always something to see and the walks are pleasant to stroll around. One of the oldest Australians fig trees can be found here, a long way from home. Do not be surprised to find students from the local high school in the park! It is worth the explore and the use of the natural landscape is very clever. The park dates back nearly two centuries
