Terceira is famous for its beautiful UNESCO world heritage town of Angra and its bull running traditions, Graciosa is a tiny rural island where some excellent wines are produced and visitors can descend into its heart to stand inside the 80m high vault.
Sao Jorge is a walkers paradise being a long thin island with a spine peppered with green craters. Faial and Pico are just 25 minutes boat trip apart and are famous for their whaling past (and now whale watching) and also being a popular stop over point for transatlantic yachtsmen.
