While you're there, make sure to sample some of the regional cheeses, handmade on the island, famous for its strong, cheddar taste.
Santa Maria - Relax on the best beaches in the Azores, in Santa Maria. Santa Maria is the most southern island of the Azores, consequently making it the sunniest and warmest.
