What to do and see in Azores, Portugal: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

March 9, 2022 Dorsey Hagwood

The nine islands that make up the Azores are in fact the peaks of some of the world's tallest mountains, reaching from deep beneath the Atlantic. The once-uninhabited, volcanic archipelago now hosts thousands of tourists every year who flock to the islands for sun, sand and verdant mountain scenery. From the beaches of Praia da Vitoria to the bustling marina of Horta, to the bubbling volcanic ground "ovens" of Furnas, these islands offer unparalleled--and unusual--adventures to discover.

Since 1888 - The Oldest Shop in Town One of the most emblematic shops in the city. Being in Azores, it is mandatory to buy something at Gil M. Teixeira & Irmao Lda. There you can find handicraft, souvenirs, religious articles, decorative items, home utensils, seeds and practically a little bit of everything. A small space, but full of history.

I had the best experience with Azores lovers. I recently ordered from their website, since all the stores are closed due to the Corona Virus, and I was able to order gifts for my boyfriend's birthday and for Mother's Day for my Mom and Mother in Law. From the experience of shopping on their website, which was seamless and very easy, with live chat support which made it even easier to shop and they clarified any questions I had, to the experience of receiving the gifts at home, delivered personally from them, all excellent. The service was fantastic, the gifts came beautifully wrapped and with personalized messages on each of them, and the gifts themselves were very high quality and very unique, with great prices. Absolutely loved shopping from Azores lovers, they made the birthday and Mother's day even more special for our family here in the Sao Miguel. I will definitively order again! Thank you!
