About Azores by Rui
I’m Rui. I was born and raised in São Miguel, and I built Azores by Rui because I was tired of sugar-coated travel guides.
No sponsors. No affiliate links. No paid rankings.
Just honest opinions from someone who actually lives here and visits every place.
I spend a ridiculous amount of time exploring restaurants, trails, viewpoints, traditions and local stories so you don’t waste your time when you visit.
If this guide helped you avoid a bad meal, find a hidden gem, or understand the islands a little better, you can buy me a coffee.
It doesn’t fund a yacht.
It helps pay hosting, tools, and keeps this project independent.
No BS. Just appreciation.
