Velas Guide

What is there to do in Velas?

There are around 10,000 people living on the island of Sao Jorge, with many of them resting in the cosy capital of Velas. The quaint town adheres to visitors hoping to bask in the stunning surroundings whilst enjoying a drink at one of the bars, as well as the more adventurous types longing to explore the undulating terrain. The striking landscape is what draws so many to the island; verdant hills afford incredible panoramic vistas of the encompassing water and the quaint boats residing by the harbour. The 10,000 permanent residents of Sao Jorge are a relatively large number for a fairly small island, though there are nearly twice as many cows living amongst the locals. Unsurprisingly, there is a strong cheese industry in Velas – visit one of the cheese-tasting facilities to enjoy the local produce. After sampling a few tasty cheeses, bask in some mesmerising architecture showcased by the Church of Santa Barbara which displays remarkable structures and designs.

How do you get around Velas?

The town is very small so it can be covered entirely by foot.


Sao Roque Guide

What is there to do in Sao Roque?

The Azores are the perfect place to escape from the modern world. Verdant parks, gorgeous beaches and picturesque views form the idyllic tranquil destination, exacerbated by the relatively difficult accessibility. The fact that ferry is the only viable way to enter Sao Roque means it has remained fairly untouched by the relentless demands of the tourism industry – even in the height of summer it remains quite calm. Simplistic architecture and unscathed walking trails are a refreshing change from the increase of modernisation, and many choose to wander around the rugged coastline to bask in the charming scenery and serenity. The accommodation is basic, but when you wake up to a breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean, having a high range coffee machine suddenly pales in comparison. Sao Roque really is a nature lover’s paradise. Instead of scanning your itinerary for the next attraction, just grab a book and rejoice in the mecca of bliss.

How do you get around Sao Roque?

You can hire a car at one of the rental companies, and there is a bus system that covers the main villages. Walking is also a popular option due to the agreeable aesthetics and temperature.
