Santo Antônio de Lisboa
A fishing village founded in the 18th century by Azorean immigrants, with cobblestone streets, colonial cottages, seafront oyster restaurants and gorgeous sunsets.
The most colonial-flavored village on the island’s northwest coast. Azorean immigrants settled here from 1698, and the village preserves cobblestone streets, colorful single-story houses and the Church of Our Lady, built in 1750. The calm bay is Brazil’s largest farmed oyster area. Seafront restaurants serve fresh oysters, baked oysters and seafood platters, and diners can watch the sun set behind the mountains of the mainland. Handicraft markets are held on weekends. It is about a 20-minute drive from the city center.
