Church of Our Lady of the Star

Highlight • Religious Site

Beautiful church in Ribeira Grande. It has a very particular bell tower, with exposed bells, and a facade with typical Azorean Baroque architecture, with three doors. Its first construction dates back to the distant 15th century.

Ponta do Cintrão

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ponta do Cintrão is a magical place close to Ribeirinha. In addition to housing several species of birds, it is evidence of the volcanic activities of the Azores. From this point you can see the small bay formed by the advance of the tip into the sea.

Ribeira Grande Beachfront

Highlight • Beach

For dinner on the beach of Ribeira Grande.
At the beginning of summer, despite the location far to the south, the sun only sets after 9 p.m. because the Azores are placed in a time zone that keeps the time difference to Portugal smaller.

Ribeira Grande Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Besides the bridge itself, Ribeira Grande is a quite nice village with a lot of interesting architectural buildings and a nice beach and pool area. While the village gives a pretty local impression, there is some minor tourism developed.
