Capital of the Azores archipelago, Ponta Delgada has about 20,056 residents on the south coast of Sao Miguel, the largest island. The city's black-and-white basalt streets and whitewashed buildings with dark stone trim give it a distinctive volcanic aesthetic. The Portas da Cidade (City Gates), three arches facing the harbour, are the principal landmark. The Forte de Sao Bras, a sixteenth-century fortress, houses a military museum.
Sao Miguel's volcanic landscape includes the Sete Cidades twin lakes, a caldeira six kilometres in diameter where blue and green lakes fill the crater, and the Furnas valley where volcanic activity produces hot springs, fumaroles, and the cozido das Furnas, a stew cooked underground by geothermal heat. The island's tea plantations at Gorreana, operating since 1883, produce Europe's only commercially grown tea.
Whale watching from Ponta Delgada reaches over twenty cetacean species in the deep waters around the Azores, including sperm whales, blue whales, and several dolphin species. The archipelago sits on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where the Eurasian, African, and North American tectonic plates meet.
