Message from Sergio

The Miradouro do Pico da Barrosa is a hidden gem on São Miguel, offering stunning views and unforgettable sunsets. Despite the radio masts and dilapidated buildings, the short hike to the summit is worth it for the panoramic vistas of the island. Cows may even join you on the trail, adding to the charm of this off-the-beaten-path spot. Don't miss the chance to witness the sun sinking behind the crater at Sete Cidades – it's a magical experience not to be missed!
