At 13:00 meet us back for a visit to the nearby local museum, a stroll by the pittoresque historic centre, see and learn about the public squares and landmarks that shaped Vila Franca do Campo the first capital of the Azores, the must-see iconic São Miguel Arcanjo church, and surrounding 16th century architecture from the first settlers.
At 15:15 Board our Van for a 5-minute drive up to 1764 “Our Lady Peace” chapel, overlooking Vila Franca do Campo and the Islet, to uncover one of the most magical Atlantic island views. On your way, stop for a short guided tour to the local traditional glasshouse pineapples plantation, see first-hand how this genuine and peculiar fruit is traditionally grown, a secret of this famously sweet fruit!
