São Miguel - a destination for every season 

We are often asked when is the best time to visit the Azores. Our answer is always the same:

"São Miguel offers a lot in every season, it depends on what you want."

In October the weather is sometimes a bit rough, but that also means wonderful waves and fantastic walks by the sea, adventurous hikes in foggy wet forest sections followed by bright blue skies. The weather changes quickly, it rarely rains all day and it is mostly warm. November almost always brings back the beautiful and consistent weather. Here it is called Verão do São Martinho - Summer of St. Martin.  A good way to escape the often cloudy and wet weather in Central Europe and elsewhere. Then, of course, the days become much shorter here, but even at the winter solstice on 21st December we still have daylight until 6 pm, so there is plenty of time to do something during the day, e.g. a bath in the warm thermal water. Many places, which are heavily frequented in summer, can be enjoyed in peace and quiet in low season. Of course, all houses are equipped with heaters, so that nobody has to get cold on the few cooler days.
