A first-time guide to the Azores | via Planet

"Set in the middle of the Atlantic halfway between the USA and continental Portugal, the nine major Azores islands – São Miguel, Santa Maria, Terceira, Graciosa, São Jorge, Pico, Faial, Flores and Corvo – are impossible not to adore. Expect green fields spotted with free-roaming local cattle (referred to locally as “happy cows”), and lagoons in extinct volcanoes. Thermal pools offer the chance for a hot dip (the warmth coming from deep within the earth), while ultra-fresh ingredients make for uniquely savory local cuisine.

A trip to the Azores is simply a must-do for savvy travelers – and one you’ll never forget. If you’ve never been before, read on. Then get planning 😉."

The versatility of a plate of rice reflects the diversity of Portuguese cuisine. As a main course, a side, or even a dessert – it’s comfort food by design. Add or take away ingredients and you’ll transform it into something entirely new.

When slowly cooked with octopus, it takes on a pink hue and the flavours of the sea. Baked with duck, it absorbs the juices and develops a crispy, golden crust. Simmered with milk, cinnamon and lemon zest, it thickens into “Arroz Doce” (sweet rice), Portugal’s beloved creamy dessert.

Explore Portugal, grain by grain and discover how one simple ingredient connects an entire country. Because every grain tells a different story.
