The Pirate Door of the Azores [Door of the Month]

São Miguel, Azores, Portugal

One of the benefits of living in Lisbon is the frequent direct flights to the Azores. We had the chance to visit São Miguel and Terceira in the Spring, a trip I highly recommend.

I walked by this pirate door in Ponta Delgada a few times before I actually noticed it in all its glory.

Did you know that the waters surrounding the Azores Islands were popular among pirates for 400 years? That said, this Azorean door is very much on point!
