Selected pickup city: Ponta Delgada
Ponta Delgada is the main town on São Miguel, the largest of the Azores, and the islands' volcanic geology means a rental car here covers crater lakes and hot springs rather than the usual coastal drive. Distances are short, but the roads wind constantly through hills and old lava fields.
The historic center's black-and-white cobbled streets and the city gates are an easy walk from most pickup points. Sete Cidades, the twin crater lakes about 40 minutes west, are the island's best-known sight and worth the drive even on a cloudy day, when the lakes take on a different color.
A loop through Sete Cidades, Lagoa do Fogo and the Furnas valley — with its volcanic hot springs and cozido stew cooked in the ground — makes a full day of driving through very different landscapes for such a small island.
Weather on São Miguel changes fast, and mist can roll into the crater areas with little warning, so don't count on the same conditions holding all day. Roads into Furnas and Sete Cidades are narrow with tight bends — a smaller car is genuinely easier here than a larger one.
