Looking east towards Lagoa in the far distance. Note the little wheeled "train" called Lagarta in the middle foreground.

   
   

 

 

 

The Marina, municipal pools and the new cruise liner terminal.

   
     

 




 A beautiful blend of old and new buildings.

   
   

 

 

Looking westward towards the airport's elevated runway. The green "tent" belongs to the Mercado da Graça, the fresh produce market.

   
   

 

 

Another example of the old and the new harmonising.

   
     

 

The little church on the knoll is the Mae de Deus chapel.
