Overview of the tour in Ponta Delgada

In life, it's the stories that really keep us alive, and the one about this land not even the best Netflix series could top it.

did you know that the Azores could be the lost Atlantis? Would you like to discover the crucial role this land played in the World Wars? What if I told you that the only tea plantation in Europe is located on this island?

Nothing like a freetour through the Azorean capital to start this adventure and learn to see this land with a perspective that goes far beyond what our eyes show us. Your journey starts here!

Our tour will start at the Portas da Cidade, the flagship of the capital. We will walk along the boardwalk towards the fort that the military man Álvaro de Bazán once crossed. We will continue to the Campo de São Francisco, the largest square in Ponta Delgada, where we will talk about the earthquake that changed the history of the city. We will pass by the Santuario do Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagros to get to mind-blowing gardens with stories of poets, suicides and saudade. We will talk about the gastronomy of the Azores and finish at the Matriz de Sao Sebastiao Church.
