What's So Special About The AZORES, PORTUGAL? 🇵🇹

On my final day in the Azores, I visit Chá Gorreana – Europe’s oldest tea plantation – for tea tasting, local snacks, a mini-hike through lush tea terraces, a surprise goat encounter, & a scenic drone flight. I finish the day with a traditional Azorean tuna steak dinner at the highly rated O Estrela in nearby Maia 🇵🇹🍵🐐

In this immersive travel video from São Miguel Island, I explore the stunning north coast of the Azores, including a peaceful walk through one of the only two remaining tea plantations in Europe, Gorreana. Discover the serene beauty of the terraced fields, the flavours of green & black tea, & authentic local cuisine, including a beautifully prepared tuna dish — simple, fresh & utterly Azorean.

🎥 Filmed in 4K, this unedited, atmospheric experience lets you feel as though you’re right there beside me.
