RENTAL CARS IN GRACIOSA, AZORES
Graciosa is the second smallest island of the archipelago, after Corvo. One to two days are all right for you to rent a car and explore the smooth hills of the white island. The color is due to the vast presence of white rocks here.
Very easy to get around due to its dimensions -
There is one main street that helps you to circumscribe the island. You can take the secondary streets that will make you all the way to the crater entrance. An unmissable route to cover when visiting.
It is extremely advised to book a car with much advance when you decide to go to Graciosa. As there aren't many tourists, there aren't many car rental companies and buses function in a very limited schedule, without regularity. That applies also for renting a room. So, better think ahead!
Prices are alike. Around 1.55 for gas and 1.10 for diesel. Parking happily is free almost everywhere. Normally you can park in almost every street, but be careful because they tend to be very narrow.
In some occasions – but not as often as in Terceira – there are some roads closed due to the traditional bullfights. They gathered an enormous part of the population to the town center.
In the Lenten, in March or beginning of April, there is a pilgrimage that lasts two days, a secular tradition. Be careful because groups of men walk around all the island, in the roads. If you happen to drive fast, you may not be able to see them on the curves, especially if the weather is misty. Furthermore, you are probably going to find also animals on the street, as this is a very rural island. Even if you don’t find a signal adverting for animals, it is very likely that you encounter them anyways.
Don’t forget to enjoy the windmills you will find around all island when you drive and delight yourself with the peace and quietude of a country island life in Graciosa.
