Ponta Delgada is the capital of Sao Miguel and the largest town in the Azores. The towncape is marked by numerous churches and historic buildings. Ponta Delgada is not a typical capital city, not just because of its small size, but perhaps above all because it is so quiet. Tourists will find peaceful parks and quaint, tranquil, little streets. In a hire car you can explore Ponta Delgada in a short time.
Make this beautiful town your starting point and cruise along the EN1 - 1A coastal road. If you feel like hiking and enjoying the impressive natural beauty of the Azores, we recommend a walk in the huge crater known as Caldeira das Sete Cidades. Among the many impressive churches in Ponta Delgada the Igreja do Santo Cristo stands out. Ponta Delgada is also known for its volcanic lagoon Ponta da Ferraria, a marvellous venue for taking a relaxing bath, but also for some rock climbing.
