    There is a bus service but hitch hiking is popular . Local village is a 30 minute walk and the natural swimming pool and sea is about the same distance .You can travel with us when we visit the town. .Our philosophy is generally work hard play hard ( we love to get out on the ocean ) !! However there has to be room for flexibility around the changeable Azorean weather !!
