Following by the southern coast, we'll arrive to the picturesque village of Povoação, where we will stop to taste the famous "Fofas da Povoação" (local pastry). Then, our tour continues to the most flowery municipality of São Miguel Island, Nordeste. We will have the opportunity to glimpse and enjoy the landscapes led by viewpoints of Ponta do Sossego e da Ponta da Madrugada overlooking the sea and the coast of the villages. Then, time to stop for lunch served, in a traditional restaurant. On our way to Ponta Delgada, we will admire the ancient water mills of the Ribeira dos Caldeirões Park, where for decades the cereals of the surrounding parishes where grinded. The tour also includes passage in Gorreana Tea factory, one of the few existing in Europe and the oldest of our island, with a taste of the different teas produced there.
