Symbolic Ceremony in the Azores: Cost and Steps
Ponta da Ferraria at low tide, a little after six in the morning, and the only other person on the lava shelf is a man testing the water with the back of his hand. No registrar waiting. No file open in a drawer in Ponta Delgada. Nothing to sign except a guest book if you…

Azores Whale Season: The Best Weeks to Elope

The road to Lagoa do Fogo belongs to whoever is awake first. From 15 June to 30 September the stretch between Caldeira Velha and Casa da Água runs on a shuttle from 9am to 7pm, five euros a head for visitors and free for people who live in the Azores. Outside those hours you drive…
