It is one of the city's oldest settlements, founded in the 18th century by Azorean (Portuguese) immigrants.
It retains a quiet, bucolic atmosphere with colorful colonial houses, traditional architecture, narrow streets, and a relaxed coastal feel.
Beaches: Small, calm coves with coarse sand at Baía Sul (ideal for relaxation, not for big waves).
Culture: Strong Azorean influences, with historic buildings, the Igreja Nossa Senhora da Lapa do Ribeirão and a lively praça.
Attractions: Peaceful walks, good restaurants serving local and seafood dishes, and a bucolic landscape about 20-22 km from the center of Floripa.
It is a perfect place for those looking for authenticity, history, and tranquility, away from the busy tourist beaches.
Highly recommended for a day trip!
