viewpoint of the Salto do Cavalo

Miradouro do Salto do Cavalo






( UK)
In the viewpoint of the Salto do Cavalo, one of the highest points of the island (805 meters), you can see the coastline south and north of St. Miguel,
in communion with a stunning landscape of the valley of Furnas. To get there, it follows by a mountain road, through grass, bushes and flowers.

On the coast north of the island of St. Miguel, the population density is lower,
 offering a more open landscape of hills and green meadows where grazing all year, hundreds of dairy cows.

In the evening, starts milking, usually made in the pasture where the animals are almost all year, resisting the worst weather stoicism.
 Is this the secret of milk, butter and cheese Azores?

No miradouro do Salto do Cavalo, um dos pontos mais altos da ilha (805 metros), é possível observar as costas Sul e Norte de S. Miguel,
em comunhão com uma paisagem deslumbrante sobre o vale das Furnas. Para lá chegar, segue-se por uma estrada de montanha,
por entre pastagens, matas e flores.

Na costa Norte da ilha de S. Miguel, a densidade populacional é mais reduzida,
oferecendo uma paisagem mais aberta de encostas e prados verdejantes, onde pastam todo o ano,
 centenas de vacas leiteiras.

Ao fim da tarde, começa a ordenha, feita geralmente no próprio pasto,
onde os animais permanecem quase todo o ano, resistindo estoícamente às mais duras intempéries.
 Será este o segredo do leite, da manteiga e do queijo açorianos?
