Santa Barbara Beach, Ribeira Grande<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another special place to watch a wonderful sunset is the Areal de Santa B\u00e1rbara, in the city of Ribeira Grande. In fact, this is one of the most popular places on the island to watch the sunset, at any time of the year. Certainly, days with good weather are the best. The beach is usually treated to very intense and vibrant sunsets, with strong colors between orange and yellow, enhancing the beauty of the north coast of S\u00e3o Miguel. It's the perfect end to the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
