Ribeira Quente
A compact coastal village on São Miguel island in the Azores, Ribeira Quente sits where a river meets the Atlantic, with a fishing harbour and a compact beach — Praia do Fogo — whose waters are warmed by underwater hydrothermal springs. The surrounding area offers scenic viewpoints toward the mountains to the north, and the village has a modest but real café and restaurant scene for its size.
