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!

La Bamba is installed in a centennial shop converted into a modern space, where you can find the only record store in the Azores, the most original gifts and creations of local and international artists. This is the perfect place to find something different to give as a present and leave singing:" Yo no soy marinero... Soy capitan, soy capitan soy capitan.”

Be Nature is a great store owned by the friendly, helpful and kind Atef. I have traveled all over the world and I was so happy to find Be Nature in Ponta Delgada. Atef offers great products for a very reasonable prices. He treats you with respect and is so helpful. He has great knowledge about all his products. I have found the best soap that I have ever used in this small store in the Azores. Who would have thought. My wife bought a lovely purse for a very reasonable price. He has ceramics, spices, soap, clothes and many gifts. It was a great surprise to find the products of Tunisia in the capital of Sao Miguel. If you go to Ponta Delgada, stop in and say hello to Atef.
