Relaxing and authentic experience in the volcanic countryside of Sao Miguel. The geothermal hot spring thermal baths were close to 100 F but soothing and relaxing. Doing it at night made it even more special though it was somewhat crowded with locals and tourists There are 4 bathing areas and 2 with must use waterfalls. Bring a change of clothes , towel and 1 euro for showering afterwards. The meal at Tony's , however was very disappointing. Though from the volcanic undersurface, It tasted like mass produced Portuguese stew with dry meat and vegetables and bland desserts. The calamari was slightly better so basically have low expectations for the meal. The food for the customers ordering a la carte seemed to appear more appetizing. Our tour leader, Hugo, was patient and knowledgeable and had a surprise "purple" green tea at the end near the natural geysers. Overall, a worthwhile adventure
