Ponta Delgada - Azore Islands

Many say the Azores are what’s left of the fabled island of Atlantis, swallowed up by the oceans 9,000 years ago.  Be sure to check out natural attractions such as Sete Cidades and Furnas, the island's crown jewels or, take a relaxed walk through the lovely city, noted for its squares paved with black and white tiles, beautiful churches, and public buildings with their white-painted facades and brown-black volcanic stone trim.
