IT’S TIME TO
The Azorean Catholic faith is an important part of the cultural and historical identity of the Azores. One of the most important catholic events is Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres. The festival takes place in the city of Ponta Delgada on the island of Sao Miguel, where thousands of locals and tourists gather to celebrate the event. The centerpiece of the festival is a solemn procession in which a large statue of the Holy Christ is carried through the streets, accompanied by singing, praying, and other religious observances.
COZIDO DAS FURNAS
Cozido das Furnas is a unique and traditional dish prepared by cooking a variety of meats, vegetables, and legumes in a large pot buried in the volcanic soil near the Furnas hot springs.
The cooking process of Cozido das Furnas is quite unique and fascinating to witness. The pot is buried in a hole in the ground, where it is left to cook for several hours using the natural heat from the volcanic activity in the area. This slow-cooking method allows all the ingredients to blend together, creating a rich and flavorful dish that is beloved by locals and visitors alike.
CHICHARROS COM MOLHO VILÃO
If you're a fish lover visiting São Miguel Island, you simply must try "Chicharros com molho de vilão". This traditional dish is a local favorite, and it's no wonder why – the combination of fresh, flavorful mackerel with a savory, tangy sauce is simply irresistible.
LAPAS GRELHADAS
To prepare "lapas grelhadas", the limpets are first cleaned and marinated in a mixture of garlic, olive oil, and a local hot pepper sauce called "pimenta da terra". They are then grilled over an open flame until they are tender and slightly charred on the outside. The result is a mouthwatering dish that is full of flavor and aroma.
