Sao Miguel Attractions

 
Sao Miguel (St Michael) is in the east of the archipelago and the largest and most heavily populated of the islands (area 747sq.km/288sq.mi; 65km/40mi long and up to 16km/10mi wide; pop.133,000). It is the economic and cultural hub of the Azores, with more features of tourist interest and better facilities for visitors than any of the other islands, and its extraordinary fertility means it is also known as the "green island". Most of its people live on the steep south coast and are engaged in agriculture, producing maize, figs, pineapples, oranges and tea.
