As our rental home was at the end of the village Almoxarife, we enjoyed the country way of life. This included curious looks from our neighbors as we walked by, dust twirling in the air from a passing tractor, a rooster’s wake up call at sunrise, bats circling above us on a starry night and wondering about unfenced bulls (tied down with a rope only) up the street.
There wasn’t any noise pollution except for the creatures’ natural sounds.
country life in the Azores
If you are looking for a quiet place to vacation, then visit the idyllic island of Faial by car or walking tours. Azores: Car Tours and Walks (Landscapes)
ah, the true Azores experience: roosters waking you up; wondering if that bull is tied up (and how strong the rope is); sharing the road with cattle …
It’s an incredible step back in time in the Azores Islands! The Vibrant blue ocean and lakes and the emerald green landscapes are wonderful. Not to mention the old world villages.
I can’t wait until my next trip!
