Ribeira Grande

Ribeira Grande, on the island of Santo Antao, is a little yet beautiful city nestled in a valley of the same name. The modest restaurants and guesthouses that line the streets are as beautiful as the twisting lanes themselves.

Tourists may visit a bustling food market and a clothing market, as well as the chapel of Nossa Senhora do Rosario. Try the city's hot springs for relaxation, which are a famous tourist destination while yet maintaining a serene and natural vibe.

Despite the fact that the island was identified in 1462, the first indication of habitation appears in 1548. Ribeira Grande, which became the headquarters of the municipality of Santo Anto in 1732, was the largest village. Its older structures are designed in the style of Portuguese colonial architecture. The parish church is called Nossa Senhora do Rosário.

The months of January, February, March, April, May, June, and December are the most likely to have beautiful weather with average temperatures ranging from 20 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius.
