The capital of the Azores Islands,
Ponta Delgada on São Miguel Island, is the stuff tourist brochures and picture postcards
are made of - deep blue seas, lush green parks and gardens, palaces and churches, wine and
passion fruit liqueur. This flourishing port started off as a small fishing village. It is
the largest city in the Azores and makes the perfect base to explore this North Atlantic
archipelago. Ponta Delgada is a popular tourist destination with marvelous hotels and
gourmet restaurants to pamper travellers.
