Nascido e criado em Angra do Heroísmo, com 11 anos de experiência como guia, sou apaixonado pela minha ilha, a sua história, a beleza natural, a geologia, a sua fantástica gastronomia e doçaria e a caracteristica alegre e hospitaleira do seu povo. Acho que personifico um pouco disso, num passeio casual, informal, mas muito informativo, ao vosso ritmo!
