Atalhada is a small traditional coastal village. Inhabitants are mostly local people who are working in the nearby city of Ponta Delgada. Our house is situated well off the main street, close to the sea which can be reached through the garden door (50 yds, rocky beach with a small natural basin fit for swimming at low tide). The distance to Ponta Delgada is about 8 miles, the distance to the international airport about 12 miles. In the vicinity you will find restaurants, small shops and a supermarket, sand-beaches and freshwater pools as well as a traditional pottery. By using the nearby motor way entry (about one mile) – opened in 2003 – you easily reach all of the islands points of interests, the starting-points for walks and the typical ‚miradouros‘ i.e. points with stupendous panoramic view over island and sea.
