BEST FORMusic lovers combining an Azores trip with a festival
A useful first read before you plan the day.
Maré de Agosto is an island trip as well as a music festival. Flights and accommodation are the limiting part of the plan, so confirm both before relying on a ticket. The beach setting is a major part of the experience, but it also means planning for sun, wind and late-night conditions.
