Located on the island São Miguel, in the group of Portuguese islands of Azores, Ponta Delgada developed following the trail of the ancient port and the sea. A landscape that seems magical, thanks to the shape of the volcanic soil, a temperate climate that makes pleasant your stay, plunged into the sea that binds to the sky. The city of Ponda Delgada, located in one of the nine islands of the Azores, Sao Miguel, has the merit of having developed over time with wisdom, to be today, with its 65 thousand inhabitants, the more populous city, as well as the largest, of all the Azores.
With regards to the history of Ponta Delgada, everything starts centuries ago, when the Portuguese from the regions of Extremadura, Alentejo and Algarve, who settled here (we are in the fifteenth century), started taking advantage of the coves in the area for fishing, and exploiting the valuable geographic location of the island, between Europe and the Americas.
The city is developed around the port: here begin the settlements and it is still possible to see where the line of the sea meets the land, highlighting the mark s of civilization.
Throughout the city you can breathe the 500 years of history, thanks to the presence of historic buildings. Do not miss the Praça Gonçalo Velho, from which unfold lush gardens and ancient buildings.
