Brent is on the island of São Miguel in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean for a foodie trip to a pineapple farm where he tries all kinds of pineapple concoctions, including a pineapple Pastel de Nata! He also enjoys tea from leaves grown right on the island. And, sneaks in to an abandoned hotel and hikes up to the Miradouro da Boca do Inferno, or viewpoint of the Mouth of Hell, for the amazing vistas!
