@jillianwright_travel_pro: **Who Needs an Oven When You've Got a Volcano?**   On the island of São Miguel in Portugal's Azores, there's a culinary tradition that takes slow cooking to an entirely different level.   In Furnas, locals prepare *Cozido das Furnas*, a traditional Portuguese stew, by lowering sealed pots into naturally heated volcanic ground.   Several hours later, dinner is ready.   No stove. No oven. Just the Earth's geothermal heat doing the cooking.   And here's what makes it even better: visitors can watch the pots being retrieved before heading off to taste the finished dish at a local restaurant.   It's not just a meal. It's a little geology lesson served with lunch.   **Would you try a meal cooked underground by volcanic heat?**   #WrightsMagicalTravels #SaintSinnerSuitcase #Azores #SaoMiguel #Furnas #BucketListExperiences #PortugalTravel #CulinaryTravel #UniqueTravelExperiences #TravelBeyondTheOrdinary
