ENGENHOS DO NORTE
Read moreThis rum distillery exists since 1927 (it still works with steam!). You will discover the process of creating rum the old-fashioned way in an area where the machinery and copper stills are exposed, distilling the precious beverage (between April and May). Breathe in the smells of cane juice and rum! Right next door, the Casa do Rum offers you to taste the referenced rums and the famous poncha (agricultural white rum and honey flavoured with orange/lemon or passion fruit).
PRAIA DA LAGOA
Read moreSurmounted by a belvedere, the small black sand beach, Praia da Lagoa nestles in the hollow of a pretty little bay dominated by a huge rock. When the tide is high, it disappears under the waves. Swimming is possible when the water is not too choppy, preferably on the left side (facing the sea), because on the right side there is a small marigot running down from the village... Surfers take over on stormy days. On the wooden esplanade in front of the beach there are sanitary facilities. Be careful and attentive when swimming!
