Nestled on the northern coast, this picturesque settlement offers a blend of whitewashed houses, cobbled streets, and a lively marina where fishing boats bob gently. The town's heart is the main square, Praça Fontes Pereira de Melo, shaded by ancient plane trees and lined with inviting cafes. Visitors can explore the 18th-century Church of Santa Cruz, stroll along the promenade with views of the Atlantic, or soak in the natural hot springs at nearby Termas do Carapacho. The island's volcanic landscape provides dramatic backdrops for hiking, while the famous Furna do Enxofre — a massive lava cave with a sulfurous lake — is a must-see.
