Destination - Ponta Delgada (Nordela) (PDL)

Ponta Delgada is Sao Miguel's welcoming capital in the Azores, known for ocean views, pastel architecture and volcanic nature nearby. Stroll the waterfront and historic centre, then escape to crater lakes at Sete Cidades or geothermal springs in Furnas. Whale-watching trips, tea plantations and local seafood add flavour, with hiking trails across the island year-round.
