View of the volcanic crater at Ilheu Vila Franca do Campo (Island of Vila Franca do Campo), Sao Miguel, Azores.
This volcanic island has some fascinating rock formations. You can hear the waves gurgling into the pools from below the rocks underneath your feet and watch rock pools fill up and empty like a huge washing machine on the spin cycle!
We spotted lots of tiny crabs clinging onto the rocks and saw Roseate Terns (like smaller, slender gulls) and Shearwaters (like large, juvenile Herringulls) here. I went on a whale watching and dolphin watching trip from the mainland and was lucky enough to find out all about the birds and mammals in this area. Well recommended.
