Porto Formoso

Travel Guide

Miradouro de Santa Iria was one of my favorite lookout points on São Miguel Island in the Azores. It seemed an ideal spot to hold a picnic. #lookoutpoints #landscapes #SãoMiguel #Azores 

The island is filled with a variety of lookout points, so definitely rent a car while visiting and check them out! https://www.google.com.mx/maps/search/Miradouro+Sao+Miguel/@37.8261032,-25.8289386,11z/data=!3m1!4b1

Heralded as one of the island's loveliest viewpoints in my Bradt travel guide, Miradouro de Santa Iria can be found along São Miguel's northern coastline, just east of Ribeira Grande.

You can definitely see for miles and I quite like the effect the late afternoon sun creates.
