Ponta Delgada, Azores

What sets Ponta Delgada apart are the black-and-white mosaics decorating the town’s pavements and walls, a testament to the volcanic rocks that form the island. Sao Miguel island offers fantastic hiking opportunities- well worth spending some days here to stretch your legs before or after your voyage. If you can extend your stay here, make the most of it with guidance from the Azores visitors’ site.
