The Azores

You can buy pineapples at the airports on all islands, at the supermarket or if visiting the greenhouses, on S. Miguel Island. Here you can visit the greenhouses to see the various stages of the pineapples and also buy a range of products related with pineapples.

Tea is also grown in the Azores. You can buy it at every supermarket or if you want a one of a kind experience, we recommend that you visit the Gorreana Factory on São Miguel Island. Here you can take a tour of the factory and taste different kinds of teas.

The best shopping place in the Azores, if you want to find almost all of the souvenirs for which the islands are famous, is the modern Parque Atlantico mall in Ponta Delgada, São Miguel Island. There are 104 stores, and a giant supermarket which sells traditional jams and Azorean honey.

Though small, wine production on the Azores has grown in reputation. One of the best places to visit and try some wines is Adega A Buraca, where visitors can see how the wine is produced, try different varieties, and choose a bottle or two to take home with them.

Connected to the old marina of Ponta Delgada and boasting a prime location on the seafront, Galerias Portas do Mar gathers various shops and a leisure area with a seaside garden promenade, as well as restaurants, bars, banks, travel agencies, and much more.
