Visit a pottery haven and walk around a tea plantation

Begin your trip with a drive to Cerâmica Vieira, a local pottery hub featuring pots, cups, tiles, and plates. After that, visit Fogo Lake in the Água de Pau Massif stratovolcano. It is well-known for its green shores and turquoise waters. Then, go to Caldeira Velha hot springs; an hour of free time is included, and advance notice is required for swimming or visiting tickets. After a meal break, head to Gorreana, the oldest tea plantation in Europe, to see the layered tea crops. Finally, visit four viewpoints to capture coastal scenery and explore the landscape.
