Ponta Delgada was established in 1444 as a small fishing village. Today it is the largest municipality and administrative capital of the Azores in Portugal. The Island of Sao Miguel has a population of about 69,000 people. Quite small but quaint and beautiful. Every street is of colored cobblestone where you’ll find beautiful courtyards and outdoor cafe’s. People here are very friendly and eager to speak with you. It’s almost like stepping back in time. Suzy and I like it here, it is our second time back.
