Vila Franca do Campo

Located on the south coast of the island of São Miguel, the municipality of Vila Franca do Campo is limited to the northeast, by the municipality of Povoação, to the north by Ribeira Grande and to the southwest by Lagoa. The highest point in the municipality is approximately 947 meters above sea level, at Pico da Barrosa. Here you get a magnificent view over the Fogo lagoon. The natural beauty combined with the quality of the beaches attracts countless visitors. The islet, located about a kilometer off the coast of the town, is the result of the action of marine erosion on a volcanic cone. The Vila's "Queijadas" had their origins in the sweets of the Convent of Santo André and are made by just two families who keep the secret of this region's delicacy.
