It’s the perfect place to connect with local culture and sample the island’s freshest offerings.

Next, head to the Port of Rabo de Peixe, one of the most important fishing harbours in the Azores.

Wrap up your day with a visit to the delightful Chocolatinho’s Factory, a small but beloved artisanal chocolate producer. Here, you can learn about the chocolate-making process, see how local ingredients are incorporated, and, of course, enjoy a tasting of handcrafted sweets that bring a delicious end to your cultural immersion.
