Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a history buff, or simply a traveler in search of tranquility, São Miguel will enchant you with its diversity and timeless charm.

Day 1: Strolling through the Capital🍃

To get a feel for the island, start your exploration in the enchanting Ponta Delgada. The city is nestled around a natural bay, woven with captivating stories and architectural treasures. The Portas da Cidade (City Gates) invite you to step into an urban epic, their three majestic arches harmoniously connecting the coastline to the vibrant Praça da República.

The local architecture, a fusion of gleaming white walls and dark basalt, adorned with intricately wrought iron balconies, evokes a visual poem at every street corner.
