Main Street of Vila do Porto

Just some random pictures.

From Avenida de Santa Maria.

Cobblestone streets with images of ships inlaid on the sidewalks.


Modern structures across the street from quaint/deserted houses. 


Old trees and former town fountains line the main road. Across from this is a church.


Okay, but not the church above. This red church is at the high point of the street.  My family had a house at this end of the street, when they had arrived from Faial, sometime after the volcano in 1958.


Above is the main government offices on the oldest square. Against the sunset, nothing is better. (Other than a festa!)
