Town Hall of Ponta Delgada Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
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. 😊

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.
Location:
Torre Sineira de Ponta Delgada
R. do Açoreano Oriental, 9500-056 Ponta Delgada

Ponta da Ferraria Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
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

Furnas Lake Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Beautiful hot spring town Furnas
Furnas town is located in the valley area of the east of Sao Miguel Island, and outside the town is the famous Furnas Lake, a volcanic lake. Steam occasionally erupts from the cracks in the rocks on the lakeshore, and there is a smell of sulfur in the air. Local people use geothermal energy to cook, and tourists can taste authentic cuisine "Furnas stew" here. The melodious bell of the small church brings peace and tranquility to people's minds, and various flowers are planted in the courtyards on both sides of the street, as well as green lawns. Parque Terra Nostra, built in 1775, is the most characteristic hot spring in the area, with a yellow water surface emitting a faint rust smell, and the water temperature is about 40 degrees. In the botanical garden, trees, flowers and plants are flourishing, and being there is like walking in a fairyland.
