This town is located on the southeastern coast of Ponta Delgada. I first heard about it when I saw its distinctive pier photographed by a drone, showcasing its large ‘X’ shaped concrete blocks that function as a barrier to the ocean waves. It was thought that this village was the first settlement on São Miguel in 1427. If you want more info on seeing Povoacao on Sao Miguel Island in the Azores, check out my blog post.
