Ribeira Seca

Travel Guide

One of the top surfing spots of our planet, with World Championships held here. We enjoyed it at sunset. #waterlust #GoldenHour

Beaches in Azores are slight different to what you might be used to experience, as the sand is of a dark grey colour – I’ve even had eeewww reactions when I shared this with some people. Seriously? Can’t understand why, golden beaches are so last century! Praia de Santa Bárbara is one of the most popular in the summer amongst visitors and surfers.

What a great spot if you want quiet and tranquility, the view was spectacular. Went for a nice walk in the morning along the bluff not a place to go if you do not have a car or don’t bring groceries with you. It’s a bit far out that is what I loved about it.

Nice warm nature shower at Caldeira Velha, one fantastic natural hotspring between palms and ferns. I think a place where many tropical waterparks get their inspiration. #azores #hotsprings #places #sao_miguel #waterfall #hot #springs #nature Make sure you follow me on: https://www.facebook.com/ShotByCanipel/ https://www.instagram.com/canipel/
