      Beautiful video presentation of this garden island with great natural beauty. My grandfather was born in Topo in 1878. I would not describe the Acores as close to the USA in terms of physical distance, although socially and culturally, most of the people of Azorean descent live outside of Portugal and in the USA.

      I'm from São Jorge Island and still live there and let me tell you that this was the best video and advices for everyone who visits my island because you show how it is and the " Learn how to drive stick shift " is one of the most important because most cars are stick shift.
      Btw your video was on my youtube recommendations 🙂🙂

    How cool, you stayed in Phillip's bungalows! We met him when we sailed our boat there a few weeks ago. Anchored between Velas and Urzelina, but Phillip was always there to show us the best parts of the island and let us in on his family meals. 😀 Glad to see other's sharing this beautiful island!

    My husband was born in Sao Miguel the largest island. Several years ago we went there for vacation and toured every inch of that island. I loved it. we cooked our dinner underground, swam in the healing waters and ate all the cultural food. great place. we need to return and visit the other islands now. Thanks for the wonderful video.

    When I saw the menu and for sandwiches it said "cheese and butter" and "ham and butter", that reminded me how basic these places are. And they are so, so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your impressions. The Azores, and Sao Jorge specifically, look so beautiful. And it sounds like the people are beautiful as well.

    You were in Urzelina and you didnt visit the church that the lava buried? Also, if you like lighthouses, you missed going to the abandoned lighthouse at the other tip, Ponta da Rosais. Also: Lourais cheese factory and the Santa Catarina tuna cannery.

    It surprises me that things are cheap in the Azores. I would have thought things would be more expensive since most everything has to be shipped in since the Azores are islands. Mark M.

    • @HereBeBarr
      @HereBeBarr  Před 6 lety +3

      Not only that.. I was told my a Portuguese guy, he thinks the Azores are cheaper than the mainland.. It's kind of crazy, b.c I think of Hawaii vs Mainland U.S.A.

    • @paulcosta941
      @paulcosta941 Před 6 lety +9

      Many things are imported but many things are produced within the region; Azores produce locally; tea, beer, wine, spirits, wide range of dairy products, fish, meats, cement for building, tobacco, pasta for cooking, cookies, fruits (both cold and warm climate), corn among others. The Azores also produces a very large portion of their electricity using local renewal technologies; geo-thermal, hydro, wave, etc. Due to the relatively low population, favorable climate and quality of soils, the Azores could become self sustainable if it ever became necessary.

  • @josephbettencourt1866

    Great video! My family is from Sao Jorge. We are visiting over the summer. Question about your ivideo pocket wifi. Does it work for iphone? Did you rent it from the Acores, or did you rent it in advance and ship it to the US? And lastly....did you also have to buy special SIM cards for your phones? This looks like a great tool to have

    • @bachatamusica
      @bachatamusica Před 6 lety +2

      Yep, ever since the "Coup d'Etat" revolution of 25th April, 1974, there are strikes for pretty much everything you can think of...... 'cept for festivals (i.e. Sanjoaninas), and street bullfights. Take it from a native son of Terceira.

    A volcanic island in the middle of the ocean. Can the volcano explode again?
    No, I do not think. Where will the people run when the volcano erupts?
    Frequent frequent earthquakes! You may not have a chance to escape.
    Everything is very expensive. It's not a place to live.
