💡 Tips
- The weather in the Azores changes rapidly; always dress in layers and carry a light rain jacket even on sunny days.
- Public buses run on a limited schedule, so renting a car is the best way to explore the island at your own pace.
- Look out for the local 'impérios', beautifully painted small chapels dedicated to the Holy Spirit, dotted around the parish.
- The volcanic coastal rocks are sharp and slippery; sturdy shoes are a must if you want to explore the tidal pools.
