Town Hall of Ponta Delgada Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
Beautiful Town Squares of Ponta Delgada
#2023travelwish
Ponta Delgada, on São Miguel Island, is the capital of the Azores archipelago of Portugal. The city centre is small enough to be explored on foot. You certainly won't miss the landmarks such as the Gothic-style Church of St. Sebastian, the 3-arched city gates Portas da Cidade, the town hall of Ponta Delgada and it's bell tower. The fountain, flowerbed and statue on front of the town hall make it a nice place to take insta worthy pictures! If you have the energy, do climb the bell tower as it offers spectacular views of the city from the top!
In 2023 I wish to explore another island in the Azores archipelago of Portugal. 😊

🇵🇹 City Centre of Ponta Delgada
Ponta Delgada, located on São Miguel Island, is the capital of the Azores archipelago in Portugal. The city center is compact and easily explored on foot. Notable landmarks include the Gothic-style Church of St. Sebastian, the three-arched city gates known as Portas da Cidade, and the town hall with its distinctive bell tower. The area in front of the town hall, featuring a fountain, flowerbed, and statue, provides a picturesque spot for taking Instagram-worthy photos. For those up for a bit of exertion, climbing the bell tower rewards with spectacular views of the city from the top.

One of the best bell towers I have climbed!
#mytripvlog
One of the best bell towers I have climbed is in Ponta Delgada. We visited the bell tower at the request of my nephew and it turned out to be the one of the best attractions on São Miguel Island.
The bell tower is 29.6 m high and was built in 1724. It was closed for several years before it reopened in 2013. If you are physically fit, you should not miss the chance to climb the bell tower as it offers spectacular 360° views of the city at the top! The entrance is free. Be prepared to climb 106 eneven steps through narrow and spiralling staircase and watch out for gaps between the steps.

Hotel Ponta Delgada Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
🇵🇹 Gorgeous Balcony at Hotel Ponta Delgada
We stayed 4 nights at Hotel Ponta Delgada, a popular accommodation in the city of Ponta Delgada on São Miguel Island in the Azores, Portugal. The hotel is centrally located in Ponta Delgada, the largest city on São Miguel Island, making it convenient for exploring local attractions, shops, and restaurants. We liked that the room was equipped with a kettle, tea bags, and a powerful hair dryer. We could have a cup of tea or a glass of wine and chill on the balcony while enjoying the view. The breakfast spread was quite standard but generally delicious. There is a swimming pool, jacuzzi, and sauna. The bar serves good cocktails, and the restaurant is nice too.

Sete Cidades Quinta Da Queiró Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
🇵🇹 Beautiful Garden @ Quinta Da Queiró
Quinta Da Queiró is a country house located in rural Sete Cidades, a town on São Miguel Island in the Azores, famous for its volcanic crater and twin lakes. The building was once the family home of the owner from the grandparents' generation. It was restored and turned into a holiday house and tea house. We visited the tea house named O Poejo in Quinta Da Queiró to have a bite. This beautiful tea house is a hidden gem in the small town. There is a very nice garden just outside the tea house where you can get an amazing view of the surrounding mountains.

Ponta da Ferraria Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)
Authentic Atlantic Spa at Ponta da Ferraria
#mytripvlog
Ponta da Ferraria is a lava delta located in Ginetes on the west coastline of São Miguel Island. There is an underwater geothermal spring that heats up the ocean. The heated water mixes with the cold water of the sea in a small cove to form a small natural thermal pool.
The entrance to the natural pool is free. The timing of visit is vital if you want to experience an authentic Atlantic Spa at Ferraria. The best time to visit is between two hours before and after the low tide when the water is warm. During high tide the current may be too strong and the water is not warm enough. There are ropes for you to hold on as the Atlantic waves are very strong. Swimming is only recommended during summer as there is a lifeguard on patrol.
Location:
Termas da Ferraria (this is the spa next to the natural pool, lots of parking space here)
Rua Ilha Sabrina, Ginetes, 9555-102 Ginetes, Portugal
