Great to see you back on the road Gabe, you should fly to Morocco for some sun, i hope to go in Dec ❤
Maan the azores looking completely different than I expected. Thougt its more like Madeira. Buts its a mix between north/south and west europe together ;D
Hey Gabriel. This is my homeland. There are many beautiful beaches there from black to blonde sand.
São Miguel's beaches include the surfing mecca Praia de Santa Bárbara, the scenic black sand beach of Mosteiros, the family-friendly Praia dos Moinhos, and the unique volcano-crater beach of Vila Franca do Campo.
Also, if you get a chance you need to visit Lagoa de fogo , spectacular view from the top of the mountain.
São Miguel is well known for natural hot springs .. it's a must see
Parque Terra Nostra within a botanical garden, the diverse pools of Poça da Dona Beija in Furnas, and the lush, natural setting of Caldeira Velha with its impressive waterfall. You can also find the unique Ponta da Ferraria, where volcanic vents heat the ocean,
I would recommend the one in Furnas .
Hope you enjoy your stay. Sao Miguel is known as the Hawaii of Europe.
I love it when Gabe attempts to communicate with the local fauna. MOOOOOOO!!! It's something I would do. 😆
I’ve seen you toot around small islands on scooters or small CC motorcycles. Ten minutes in I have not noticed any two wheel bikes… but could that have been an option? I know this was recorded 2/3 day back. Cheers mate
Very Interesting Place spectacular views ❤👍
What happened to the avis you were walking too? Didn't work out you never showed or said
Beautiful it looks like Ireland or Scotland
35min in . In the church , that is the new saint . A 15 year old kid
Gabe is such a hippy lol look at the green…the bushes are out of this world….
Did Gabe find his new Greece 😊
Gotta say that by watching this video you now have made me add The Azores onto my ‘must travel to places before I die’. That was an hawaiian ginger plant you showed.
Gorgeous Island 🏝 🙏🌞
Awesome. If you do get to Madeira, Paddy and his Youtuber buddy, Joey P (a Madeira resident) both have pretty cool video series covering their hike together across the island. Sao Miguel looks incredible.
I think these islands may have been part of Atlantis….don't laugh I'm serious
Some impressions so far: Some of the bushes are reminiscent of hydrangeas. For John Le Carre fans, a prominent name kept appearing as graffiti on the walls of the abandoned resort.
13:51 abandoned hotel. Construction flawed and moldy and falling apart. You can't build just anything in the azores bc of the moisture. I think the Chinese own it now are supposed to develop it. I hope they don't.
plenty of beaches around,need to look for them and some r volcano heated.
No matter how it's pronounced, Azores must mean "stunning and green"!
Wow….striking, even from a computer screen…..
Is it bigger than the Isle of Man?
