From Penha Hill you have nice views over the peninsula and the neighbouring islands
The Avenida de Paraia Grande is a pleasant promenade
After lunch in the Pousada de Sao Tiago, we visited the A-Ma temple at the base of the Penha Hill. The temple is dedicated to A-Ma, the Mother god. Very old, although the present building dates back to the 17th century.
