New restaurants in Ponta Delgada include locavore Casa do Abel, the Japanese-influenced Otaka, and Tasquinha Vieira, which specializes in local, organic cuisine, while new hotels include the Lava Homes on Pico Island, and the Grand Hotel Açores Atlântico, opening in July.

“Salt is terrible for a vineyard, but the vineyards that have survived here are from here and can take a bit of salt,” said Mr. Maçanita, who makes white wine using the indigenous grapes verdelho, terrantez do Pico and arinto dos Açores.

After the six days had passed, the weather becoming finer and the sea more tranquil, we all reassembled, and had the wind favourable till we perceived the Açores.

All vessels returning from the Indies must of necessity approach the said islands of Açores to take their observations, otherwise they could not with surety finish their route.

The same stamps are surcharged Acores for use in that colony.
