Ponta do Sol

The graceful village of Ponta do Sol features a landscape dominated by agriculture, namely the cultivation of banana. This town has a coastline, with the most modern facilities and pleasant conditions.

The focus on tourism has grown in recent years with the construction of high-quality hotels. One of these is the inn of Ponta do Sol, an old farmhouse converted into a hotel, whose cultural activities captivate local and foreign audiences.
