Hiking

From the viewpoint overlooking the ruins of São Jorge, you can see the crumbling walls and overgrown stone remnants towering above the north coast. Between the ancient ruins, the panorama repeatedly opens up to reveal the Atlantic Ocean, the steep, green slopes, and the terraced fields. It's an atmospheric spot for a short break, to take photos, and to let the connection between history and the sea wash over you.
