São Jorge, Azores

Overview

From a distance, São Jorge is an island of cliffs and fajãs, but Maria discovers so much more. She sees first-hand how their world-famous cheese is made, visits a coffee plantation, and cooks Holy Ghost soup and local specialty, Especies. Maria also meets transplant, Peeter Adriaans, who made a home on São Jorge after what can only be described as a shipwreck.
