DHT PERSPECTIVE
Understand before you choose
This guide explores an Azorean topic through an editorial lens: understanding it, its local particularities, and what is useful to know before you go. The goal is context rather than a simple checklist.
The guide and Miguel™ therefore have complementary roles. The guide helps you understand; Miguel™ helps you decide. This distinction lets the content remain rich without turning the decision engine into an encyclopedia.
