Ponta Delgada

LPPD/PDL

Ponta Delgada and the wider Azores are shaped by volcanic landscapes, deep green hills and the vast Atlantic Ocean that surrounds them. Ponta Delgada, on the island of São Miguel, is a relaxed coastal town with historic streets, black-and-white architecture and a calm island atmosphere. Beyond the town, the Azores are known for crater lakes, hot springs, dramatic coastlines and some of Europe’s best whale watching. Remote yet welcoming, the islands offer a quieter and more adventurous side of Portugal far out in the Atlantic.
