My name is Daniel and I live in Povoação, on the island of São Miguel in the Azores.
Awesome Azores is a personal project I created to share information and experiences about this beautiful island. I am not a professional guide — this website is simply built out of passion for the Azores and a desire to help people who are interested in discovering the region.
Living here allows me to observe the island throughout the seasons — its landscapes, weather, ocean, hiking trails and daily life. Through this site, I share practical information, personal impressions and useful details that may help visitors better understand São Miguel.
This is an independent and non-commercial website created for those who are curious about the Azores and want a simple, honest perspective from someone who lives here.

Daniel lives on São Miguel Island in the Azores and is currently preparing a small guesthouse project called Maison São Roque, located in the peaceful village of São Roque near Ponta Delgada.
I live here with my wife Vivian, and together we are preparing this small guesthouse project where visitors will be welcomed in a relaxed and authentic Azorean atmosphere.
