Furnas, San Miguel, Azores is a spa experience of a mineral kind

In Furnas, on the east side of San Miguel, Azores, is Terra Nostra Gardens, where that you can experience a therapeutic swim in the hot springs, an iron-rich lake.

Stop here for a spa experience of an orange kind, because as you wade back to land, your body will, no doubt, be a shade of tan-in-a-bottle orange. Fortunately, an outdoor shower will remedy the situation within minutes. However, throughout the remainder of the day, you'll smelled of sulfur, but feel mineral-rich!

San Miguel, in the Azores islands off Portugal -- is a magnificent place to visit. The crater lakes, dining experiences of buried stew that cooks with the heat from a once active volcano -- and the beauty of the land -- will definitely offer a unique experience. The black sand beaches and hikes through the mountainside are breathtaking.
