Hello all!

I plan a backpacking travel, mostly for hiking on Terceira and other Azores islands.

1.Any general tips / "must know" facts?
2.Can someone recommend a simple place to stay in after the flight near the airport/Lajes?
3.Is there a tourist information office in Praia? Are there maps of Azores in English?
4.Is there an updated list of camping sites on Azores? Via Google I've found information mostly about Terceira.
5.What are the prices for basic foods, such as bottled water, bread, canned food?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
Simon

More about Azores

The Azores are a chain of islands in the Atlantic Ocean and form an autonomous region of Portugal. Because of their outlying location, these islands are still not on many traveller's routes. The islands have a lot to offer though, and are both interesting regarding nature and culture.
