Leonor is right about the back roads! On São Miguel especially there is a
smaller old road that parallels the main highway that rings the island. It
is closer to the coast and goes through many small towns. A much nicer
route if you have the time to go slowly.

Very interesting post, David. I knew some of that, but there's a lot of new
info in there. Thanks. I still don't totally understand how "autonomous"
the Azores government is from Portugal. In what ways is that autonomy
enacted in the present day? Or is this something similar to State
