This island lying to the north of the group is only 12.5 kilometers long and 8.5 kilometers wide with about 5.000 inhabitants. Members of these tranquil farming families tend to temporarily emigrate to the Americas to generate funds for remitting back to their island homes.

Holidays in Graciosa are simple, healthy and calm. From vineyards in "corrals" to art treasures. Yes, vineyards cover much of Graciosa, just like the other Azores islands, but this tiny landmass has its own unique natural attraction as well: the Furna de Enxofre. This is a small, warm sulphur lake, concealed in a grotto underneath a volcanic crater. Discovering Graciosa means taking a stroll through the checked pattern of green vines bordered by "corral" walls of hardened lava. Stroll up the rolling hills and you will discover quite magnificent vantage points. Admire the luxuriant vegetation of the Crater. Enter the very depths of a dormant volcano in Furna do Enxofre and discover its mysterious underground lake. Discover the deep inlets and islets of the coastline, the stuff dreams are made of.
