Things to see and do Ribeira Grande

Jardim d'Esmeralda is located in Xoxo, at the end of the lush, landlocked Ribeira da Torre, where a stream fertilizes the sugarcane plantations, which combine with terraced market gardening (sweet potatoes, cassava, etc.) and various fruit trees (papaya, medlar, etc.). There is also a traditional distillery, producing aguardente and grogue made from 100% organic sugarcane juice. Alternatively, you can buy this spirit at Natur Esmeralda in Porto Novo, rue Abufadouro.
