Graciosa is for many persons the most beautiful of all the 9 islands. But all the islands have their very own “personality ". Graciosa has a mild climate, and a very gentle nature with smooth hills, which can be seen from a long distance. It is about 8 x 12 km. If you have the time, you can easily spend 3-4 days to discover Graciosa. The population is about 4700.

The most important town on the island is Santa Cruz. The airport is about 3 km outside the centre of the town. If you come to Graciosa by ferry from Angra do Heroismo at Terceira, you will arrive in Praia, (also known as Sao Mateus). A town that in the past was the most "important" town on the island.

The most interesting attraction on the island is absolutely Furna do Enxofre. An extinct volcano with a crater, which it is possible to enter all the way to the very bottom. Many years ago a tower was placed there with internal steps, that lead you rather comfortably to the very bottom. At the bottom there is a beautiful large deep lake.

The opening at the top of the crater is fairly small, which make the visit even more exiting. This attraction a must to visit. You can drive by car all the way to the crater entrance. The best time for a visit is between 11.00 AM to 14.00 PM, when the daylight gets through the top opening.

It can be difficult to rent a car on Graciosa, especially during the summer. There are busses which take to all of the island, but only for some time of the day. You have to ask at the tourist office when you are there. So it is suggested that you ”rent a taxi " for a day, or for some hours. It is very easy to hitchhike.

In Carapacho there is the health spa Termas do Carapacho, which provides treatments with thermal water, and claims to cure some bone and skin diseases. It's open from 1. May to 30. September.

The lighthouse at the point of Carapacho gives you a wonderful view towards Terceira, Sao Jorge, Pico and Faial.

Monte Nossa Senhora da Ajuda is the highest point around Santa Cruz, and gives you a magnificent view over Santa Cruz and the surrounding areas. In the outskirts of Santa Cruz towards the airport, there is a modern swimming pool area, with all the facilities required.

In Santa Cruz there is a beautifully placed bullfighter arena. On occasions there are bullfights in the arena, and “bullfight by the rope “in some of the small villages around the island. When you are on Graciosa, don't miss this opportunity to see what this is all about. It's very exciting and gathers many people from all over the island.
